Trusted shower tray repair in Ure Bank

Shower tray repair in Ure Bank, done in place

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and people most often call us about damage from a refit or building work and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

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

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. 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. Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Repair or replace in Ure Bank?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why Ure Bank customers choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Everything repaired in place
  • No extra charge for your area

See our prices page.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Ure Bank

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically along the edges or by the waste.

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

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips caused during fitting

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we work on in Ure Bank

  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel

What affects the price in Ure Bank

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Common questions in Ure Bank

How long does it take to cure?

Usually the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Ure Bank is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
