Shower tray repair in Staining, done in place

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. We work on stone resin, acrylic and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a damaged area around the waste and movement when you stand on it.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Staining and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Check the seal every few months

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

Staining: your questions answered

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Do you cover the entire of Blackpool?

All of Blackpool, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

When can I use the shower again?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

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

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

When to call us in Staining

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

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
