About our shower tray repair in Scunthorpe

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Whether it’s movement when you stand on it and damage around the waste, we can typically put it right, on ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

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

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Take a look at our pricing.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Scunthorpe. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What we are called out for in Scunthorpe

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that flexes
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips caused during fitting

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
