We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We regularly repair acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from a refit or building work and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Repair or replace in Swarland?

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. 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.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One price list for the whole UK

Take a look at our full price list.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Do you need shower tray repair in Swarland?

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Damage around the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Swarland

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swarland as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What affects the price in Swarland

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Swarland. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
