Shower tray repair near Rumburgh

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use the extractor fan

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You don’t need a survey visit. 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.

  • A tray that flexes
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

What your shower tray is made of matters

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Rumburgh questions

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Rumburgh included. There is no extra charge for travel.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

When can I use the shower again?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
