When to call us in Turn

Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Before booking anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before you book

Questions from Turn

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

How long before I can shower?

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

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Turn. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

If you manage property in Turn, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
