Shower tray repair for Tarraby homes

Shower tray repair at your home in Tarraby

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Whether it’s chips on the edges and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can help, on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from Tarraby

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

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

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your CA3 postcode.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What affects the price in Tarraby

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Common problems we fix in Tarraby

Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

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

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • 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 the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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