About our shower tray repair in Town End

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you’re dealing with a cracked shower tray and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can generally put it right, on ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel alike.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repair or replace in Town End?

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. Prices start from £95. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Town End

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Damage around the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before booking

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Advice

What affects the price in Town End

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
