Shower tray repair in Weston

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Weston clients choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Same prices wherever you are

About our shower tray repair in Weston

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s staining and dullness across the tray and a damaged area around the waste, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Weston. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

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.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  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

  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

When to call us in Weston

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. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

People generally call us when they notice something like this:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Questions from Weston

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
