How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hull and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Questions from Southcoates

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Southcoates?

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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

Should you replace it?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Southcoates clients choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our pricing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Honest limits

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

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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