Trusted shower tray repair in Poughill

Shower tray repair in Poughill, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for chipped corners or rims and movement when you stand on it, on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

If you’re in Poughill and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Poughill?

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A cracked shower tray

10 questions to ask before booking

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
