About our shower tray repair in Victoria

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Typical jobs include a damaged area around the waste and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, on ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

Signs you need shower tray repair in Victoria

Trays crack mainly because they move: 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.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What affects the price in Victoria

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

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

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Victoria: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Victoria is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

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