Shower tray repair in St Combs, done in place

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. We’re frequently asked to fix a damaged area around the waste and movement when you stand on it, in cast iron, stone resin and ceramic.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Store bottles off the tray

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  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

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in St Combs, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t 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 pictures.

Signs you need shower tray repair in St Combs

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

How to compare quotes

St Combs: your questions answered

How do I book?

Do you hold any accreditations?

Does someone need to be in?

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

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

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

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
