How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Shower tray repair in Swanton without replacing anything

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic, and people most often call us about a crack across the base and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

FAQs for Swanton

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Swanton?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Ventilate the room after showers

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

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Swanton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most clients in Swanton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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 pictures.
