When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How we handle shower tray repair in Stradbroke

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. We regularly repair stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a damaged area around the waste and a crack across the base.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Repair or replace in Stradbroke?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs

FAQs for Stradbroke

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Stradbroke.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

10 questions to ask before you book

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Ceramic

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

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price
