Shower tray repair for Ulceby homes

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

How we handle shower tray repair in Ulceby

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Whether it’s scuffs and light scratches and chipped corners or rims, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

If you’re in Ulceby and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we are called out for in Ulceby

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A damaged area around the waste

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take 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 check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Questions from Ulceby

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
