About our shower tray repair in Strome Ferry

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair ceramic, stone resin and acrylic, and people most often call us about damage around the waste and staining and dullness across the tray.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Can I fix it myself?

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

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.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most clients in Strome Ferry get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

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

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Strome Ferry: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

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

Do you come to Strome Ferry?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Strome Ferry for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Are you accredited?

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

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

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