How we handle shower tray repair in Rigside

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for snagging damage in a new bathroom and chips or cracks by the plughole, on acrylic, stone resin and ceramic.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Repair or replace in Rigside?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Rigside. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Rigside clients choose us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Rigside

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How long does it take to cure?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. The room is left tidy.

  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

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Advice

Common problems we fix in Rigside

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A crack across the base
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chips on the edges

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How your room will be protected

Can I fix it myself?

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlord and trade work in Rigside

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rigside use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

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.
