Shower tray repair in Southrope

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Shower tray repair in Southrope, done in place

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Common call-outs are for a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a cracked shower tray, in cast iron, stone resin and acrylic.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Common problems we fix in Southrope

Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips on the edges

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • The material, if you know it

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Southrope, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Southrope questions

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Should you replace it?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
