Shower tray repair near Swan Bottom

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Shower tray repair in Swan Bottom without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s damage from a refit or building work and movement when you stand on it, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Report any creaking or movement early

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

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

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

What we’re called out for in Swan Bottom

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips on the edges
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scuffs and light scratches

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
