Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

How we handle shower tray repair in Wardley

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We work on ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are a crack across the base and damage around the waste.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Wardley and across Rutland.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

When to call us in Wardley

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Before booking anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Wardley

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

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Common questions in Wardley

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Will the price change on the day?

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

When can I use the shower again?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, generally the day after.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Wardley. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
