Shower tray repair near Upton

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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 we handle shower tray repair in Upton

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We work on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and people most often call us about chips caused during fitting and a crack across the base.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What affects the price in Upton

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

Most clients in Upton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Upton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Common questions in Upton

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Do you cover Upton?

We do. We send a technician to Upton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do the materials smell?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Common problems we fix in Upton

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.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips on the edges
  • Scuffs and light scratches

Before booking anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
