Shower tray repair in Somerby

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Shower tray repair at your home in Somerby

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. We are frequently asked to fix a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a tray that flexes, in acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel.

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Somerby questions

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we are called out for in Somerby

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
