About our shower tray repair in Stanfree

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our technicians work on stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron, and people most often call us about chips on the edges and a damaged area around the waste.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Derbyshire.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Stanfree?

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips on the edges
  • A crack across the base
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stanfree

For anyone letting property in or around Stanfree, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

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

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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 will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Questions from Stanfree

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do you work in Stanfree?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Stanfree. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Stanfree, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
