Choosing a repair company

About our shower tray repair in Riverside

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can help, on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Riverside

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
