About our shower tray repair in Scruton

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you are dealing with damage around the waste and chips caused during fitting, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings

Repairing versus replacing in Scruton

Replacing a 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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Common questions in Scruton

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do you cover the whole of North Yorkshire?

We work UK-wide, so Scruton is covered. Prices do not change with location.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Store bottles off the tray

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes 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. 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. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

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

What we’re called out for in Scruton

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Common reasons people in Scruton contact us include:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Damage around the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Before you book anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • How soon you can use it again
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

How to compare quotes

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
