Shower tray repair at your home in Rose Hill

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Common problems we fix in Rose Hill

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A damaged area around the waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • When it can be used again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Rose Hill. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Rose Hill: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
