Shower tray repair in Spencers Wood, done in place

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Typical jobs include edge chips from dropped bottles and damage around the waste, in cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Spencers Wood

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Questions from Spencers Wood

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

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your RG7 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

What we are called out for in Spencers Wood

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Damage around the waste

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How the colour is matched
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
