About our shower tray repair in Upleadon

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, 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 chips or cracks by the plughole, we can help.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

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 and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Upleadon. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you are in Upleadon and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
