Shower tray repair for Sarratt homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Shower tray repair in Sarratt, done in place

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, stone resin and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are a crack across the base and a damaged area around the waste.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area 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 look after it.

  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 reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our prices page.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

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

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

FAQs for Sarratt

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Which areas do you work in?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
