Shower tray repair for St Ibbs homes

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Shower tray repair in St Ibbs, done in place

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. Typical jobs include scuffs and light scratches and chips or cracks by the plughole, on acrylic, cast iron and stone resin.

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

Your questions about shower tray repair in St Ibbs

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

When can I use the shower again?

You will get the exact time when we finish, normally the day after.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Hertfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Repair or replace in St Ibbs?

The tray is generally 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. Prices start from £95. 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.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our prices page.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

Do you need shower tray repair in St Ibbs?

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
