Shower tray repair in Sandplace

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Shower tray repair in Sandplace without replacing anything

We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Typical jobs include movement when you stand on it and chips on the edges, on enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves 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 for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Sandplace, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Sandplace. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

FAQs for Sandplace

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Do I have to be there?

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

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

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

Do you cover Sandplace?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Sandplace from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
