About our shower tray repair in Shipley

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We are frequently asked to fix damage from a refit or building work and staining and dullness across the tray, in enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Shipley: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you come to Shipley?

We do. Technicians travel to Shipley from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will you leave a mess?

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

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you cover the whole of West Sussex?

We cover the entire UK, including Shipley and the rest of West Sussex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

When to call us in Shipley

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips caused during fitting

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

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 to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
