Shower tray repair in Slitting Mill without replacing anything

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Common call-outs are for a tray that flexes and snagging damage in a new bathroom, in cast iron, acrylic and stone resin.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

What we work on

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

Repair or replace in Slitting Mill?

Landlord and trade work in Slitting Mill

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around Slitting Mill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. 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. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Slitting Mill

When can you do it?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Slitting Mill.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

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

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