What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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

Materials we repair

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

FAQs for Stotfold

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

How do I book?

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Should you replace it?

What we are called out for in Stotfold

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Stotfold. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
