Shower tray repair in West Green without replacing anything

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. If you’re dealing with a dull, stained or worn surface and damage from a refit or building work, we can typically put it right, on acrylic, ceramic and stone resin alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we’ll 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 strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Questions from West Green

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Common problems we fix in West Green

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

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

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most clients in West Green get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Check the seal every few months

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
