DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Shower tray repair at your home in Riddings

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Whether it’s a dull, stained or worn surface and chipped corners or rims, we can usually put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Riddings as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Riddings, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

  • A cracked shower tray

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • How the colour is matched
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Our hiring checklist

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

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

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

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

What we work on

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

Questions from Riddings

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Are there extra charges for Riddings?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
