About our shower tray repair in The Meadows

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. Whether it’s damage from a refit or building work and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

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 can be filled and matched.

Repairing versus replacing in The Meadows

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for The Meadows. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Signs you need shower tray repair in The Meadows

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Our hiring checklist

Common questions in The Meadows

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  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 next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

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

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
