About our shower tray repair in Poulton

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Common call-outs are for a tray that flexes and chips or cracks by the plughole, in cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

When to call us in Poulton

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What prep work is covered
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
