Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

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

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the area is dry

Signs you need shower tray repair in Urquhart

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

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

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Common questions in Urquhart

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

When can I use the shower again?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
