Shower tray repair in Scarwell, done in place

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Common call-outs are for snagging damage in a new bathroom and chipped corners or rims, on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  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. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One price list for the entire UK

Scarwell questions

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens after I send photos?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

What information do you need?

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

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Scarwell?

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Landlord and trade work in Scarwell

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
