About our shower tray repair in Sapiston

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the edges and movement when you stand on it, in enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic.

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

Your questions about shower tray repair in Sapiston

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place

See our prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
