Shower tray repair in South Mimms, done in place

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 are not disturbed. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a cracked shower tray and a damaged area around the waste.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Related advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, 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.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

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

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.

Common questions in South Mimms

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you cover South Mimms?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to South Mimms. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote 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. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in South Mimms

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

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

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places

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