Shower tray repair in Rose Hill, done in place

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s movement when you stand on it and damage around the waste, we can help, on acrylic, ceramic and stone resin alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Rose Hill questions

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do I have to be there?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Do you come to Rose Hill?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Rose Hill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What affects the price in Rose Hill

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IP3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Rose Hill, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage

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

  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that flexes
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scratches in the surface
