How we handle shower tray repair in West Street

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about scuffs and light scratches and damage from a refit or building work.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

Materials we repair

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

What we’re called out for in West Street

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How to care for the finish

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including West Street. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you are in West Street and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in West Street, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

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