Shower tray repair in Underwood without replacing anything

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. We are often asked to fix a cracked shower tray and a tray that flexes, across acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Underwood

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Underwood?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NP18 postcode.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Stone resin

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

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Questions to ask before you book

  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Underwood. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
