Shower tray repair near Team Valley

Shower tray repair in Team Valley without replacing anything

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. Our technicians work on cast iron, stone resin and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a dull, stained or worn surface and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Team Valley

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Ceramic

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

Team Valley: your questions answered

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. 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.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Team Valley. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Team Valley

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Movement when you stand on it

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • How to care for the finish
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
