Shower tray repair in White Colne

About our shower tray repair in White Colne

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, stone resin and ceramic, and people most often call us about a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and scuffs and light scratches.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

For a price in White Colne, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

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

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We leave the room clean.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A damaged area around the waste

10 questions to ask before you book

Your questions about shower tray repair in White Colne

Do you charge for travel?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CO6 postcode.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
