Shower tray repair in Southway, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. We are often asked to fix snagging damage in a new bathroom and chipped corners or rims, on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Southway as everywhere else we work.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Southway, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Southway

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Southway use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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