What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

About our shower tray repair in Ribby

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include scratches from cleaning or grit and staining and dullness across the tray, in acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Common problems we fix in Ribby

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips on the edges
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Movement when you stand on it

Before booking anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ribby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Ribby

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

How long does it take to cure?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you work in Ribby?

We do. Technicians travel to Ribby from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
