Shower tray repair in Staynall

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How we handle shower tray repair in Staynall

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include scratches in the surface and chips caused during fitting, in ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Staynall

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Staynall?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Staynall. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour-matched on site

See our full price list.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Staynall

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Staynall use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Common problems we fix in Staynall

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

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Chips on the edges
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that flexes

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
