Saron: your questions answered

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you cover Saron?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Saron from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Repair or replace in Saron?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What affects the price in Saron

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SA18 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
