Shower tray repair for Upottery homes

How we handle shower tray repair in Upottery

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. We regularly repair acrylic, stone resin and ceramic, and people most often call us about scratches in the surface and a damaged area around the waste.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Check the seal every few months

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. 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.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Upottery questions

How long does it take to cure?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you need shower tray repair in Upottery?

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended

  • The type of damage

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.

  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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Most clients in Upottery get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

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

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
