Shower tray repair in Shillingstone without replacing anything

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. Common call-outs are for damage around the waste and movement when you stand on it, in cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  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. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Repairing versus replacing in Shillingstone

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, 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

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Shillingstone

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Are there extra charges for Shillingstone?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

What affects the price in Shillingstone

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Shillingstone. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Shillingstone. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
