About our shower tray repair in Swaile's Green

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips caused during fitting and cracks running from the waste.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Swaile's Green

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Do you need shower tray repair in Swaile's Green?

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A crack across the base

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How to look after the finish
  • What prep work is covered

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Common questions in Swaile's Green

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
