Shower tray repair in Uffington, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Whether it’s scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our prices page.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Uffington as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Related advice

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. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
