Shower tray repair for Swyre homes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Shower tray repair in Swyre without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for edge chips from dropped bottles and damage around the waste, in acrylic, ceramic and stone resin.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

Common reasons people in Swyre contact us include:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A damaged area around the waste

  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before booking

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

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

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

What affects the price in Swyre

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

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

What do you need from me?

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
