How we handle shower tray repair in Thorley Street

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. We are often asked to fix a crack across the base and chips on the edges, across enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

What happens next?

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Thorley Street

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, usually along the edges or by the waste.

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Cracks running from the waste

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Thorley Street

The tray is usually 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. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

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

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
