Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

If you manage property in Studdal, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • 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 will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Questions from Studdal

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time on the day, generally the day after.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Related advice

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

Most customers in Studdal get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

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

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.
