Shower tray repair for The Banks homes

Shower tray repair in The Banks without replacing anything

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We are frequently asked to fix cracks running from the waste and damage from a refit or building work, in cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel.

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

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot

  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron

Do you need shower tray repair in The Banks?

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

The Banks questions

Are you accredited?

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

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Usually, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

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

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you work in The Banks?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to The Banks. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Landlord and trade work in The Banks

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
