Shower tray repair in Tarvin Sands without replacing anything

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We work on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a crack across the base.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Stained shower tray resurfaced to clean white, before and after

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Tarvin Sands

Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • A tray that flexes
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Questions to ask before you book

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A fixed quote before booking

Take a look at our prices page.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Tarvin Sands. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
