Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Use the extractor fan

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Do you need shower tray repair in Press?

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Press. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Press: your questions answered

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you come to Press?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Press. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
