Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Shower tray repair at your home in Upgate Street

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s snagging damage in a new bathroom and chipped corners or rims, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Upgate Street, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Questions from Upgate Street

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

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

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
