Shower tray repair near Upgate

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Upgate. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

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
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Shower tray repair in Upgate without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. If you’re dealing with a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chipped corners or rims, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use the extractor fan

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice

When to call us in Upgate

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

FAQs for Upgate

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
