Shower tray repair near Starston

Shower tray repair in Starston, done in place

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Common call-outs are for chipped corners or rims and chips caused during fitting, on ceramic, stone resin and cast iron.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our pricing.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back

Most customers in Starston get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the 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 generally be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

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