Shower tray repair in Ridge

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Shower tray repair at your home in Ridge

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s a tray that flexes and damage from a refit or building work, we can usually put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Read our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EN6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Ridge

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

When can I use the shower again?

You will get the exact time when we finish, normally the following day.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
