About our shower tray repair in Radclive

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. We work on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic, and people most often call us about a dull, stained or worn surface and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Common problems we fix in Radclive

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Damage around the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Questions from Radclive

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
