Shower tray repair in Upper Bush without replacing anything

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. We are frequently asked to fix chipped corners or rims and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, in cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Take a look at our pricing.

What affects the price in Upper Bush

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

What we are called out for in Upper Bush

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

People generally call us when they notice something like this:

  • A crack across the base
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A damaged area around the waste

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
