Trusted shower tray repair in Smisby

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

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

Shower tray repair in Smisby 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. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include cracks running from the waste and chips or cracks by the plughole, in ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Our hiring checklist

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Smisby. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

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

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
