Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Upham. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you’re in Upham and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

Materials we work on in Upham

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

What we are called out for in Upham

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that flexes
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A cracked shower tray
