Shower tray repair in Potarch without replacing anything

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Potarch

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For anyone letting property in or around Potarch, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

What we’re called out for in Potarch

  • Damage around the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A cracked shower tray
