Shower tray repair in St Bees

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Landlords, agents and businesses in St Bees

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, 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 cannot see.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in St Bees

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

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.

Acrylic

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

What we are called out for in St Bees

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

Look out for these signs:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips on the edges

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
