Shower tray repair in Searby without replacing anything

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. If you’re dealing with cracks running from the waste and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Searby: your questions answered

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do you cover Searby?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Searby from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Searby, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Related advice

Common problems we fix in Searby

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that flexes
  • A crack across the base
  • Damage around the waste

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
