Shower tray repair in Swan Street without replacing anything

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We are frequently asked to fix a cracked shower tray and chipped corners or rims, in stone resin, ceramic and acrylic.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Swan Street

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Swan Street

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Swan Street, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
