Shower tray repair in Trash Green, done in place

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Whether it’s scratches in the surface and chips on the edges, we can typically put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Trash Green

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chips on the edges

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Trash Green

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, normally the day after.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Trash Green. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

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

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
