About our shower tray repair in Tapnage

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. If you’re dealing with movement when you stand on it and staining and dullness across the tray, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to compare quotes

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

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

Tapnage questions

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

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

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Landlord and trade work in Tapnage

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
