Trusted shower tray repair in Row

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Shower tray repair at your home in Row

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. We regularly repair stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are damage from a refit or building work and a damaged area around the waste.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Row

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Row as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Everything repaired in place

Common problems we fix in Row

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How your room will be protected
  • When it can be used again
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

Row: your questions answered

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How long does it take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, typically the day after.

Can landlords book you?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?

All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Row

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

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
