How we handle shower tray repair in Vulcan Village

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. We work on ceramic, acrylic and stone resin, and people most often call us about movement when you stand on it and chipped corners or rims.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic

Vulcan Village: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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

Repair or replace in Vulcan Village?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
