Shower tray repair in Tai-Bach, done in place

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We work on stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic, and people most often call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and damage from a refit or building work.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Tai-Bach. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Tai-Bach. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Tai-Bach, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  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. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

There’s 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 reply with a fixed price.

Advice

When to call us in Tai-Bach

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Movement when you stand on it

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How your room will be protected
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
