Shower tray repair at your home 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. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, acrylic and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are a cracked shower tray and chips on the edges.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Upton

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips on the edges
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Take a look at our full price list.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Get a moving tray checked

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Upton

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you cover Upton?

We do. Technicians travel to Upton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
