How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Get a moving tray checked

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Shower tray repair in Shepshed without replacing anything

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We work on acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and a crack across the base.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  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. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

FAQs for Shepshed

Will it make a mess?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do you cover the whole of Leicestershire?

Everywhere in the UK, Shepshed included. Travel is included in the price.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

What we work on

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Shepshed

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips on the edges
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

10 questions to ask before booking

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

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

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
