Shower tray repair in The Calders, done in place

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Whether it’s damage from a refit or building work and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can usually put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Our hiring checklist

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for The Calders. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EH11 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The Calders: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you come to The Calders?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to The Calders from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the exact time when we finish, generally the following day.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
