Hi, it is possable to repair acrylic, but i wouldnt do a shower tray because of the constant stress on the tray. Replacing is the only answer, but cost depends on a couple of factors. Firstly the tiling may need to be stripped up by a couple of rows to get the tray out, do you have replacement tiles if they cant be saved. Secondly is it a common size, measure the tray and check online to get a replacement cost of the tray alone.
This is a 1 day job maximum for most plumbers and labour wouldnt be more than £150 all in. If replacing the tray and ordering a new one make sure you get one that has the plug hole either in a corner or in the middle of a straight edge etc. Helper Converthelper. Hope that helps.
Hi, Probably not what you want to hear but generally plastic trays are not repairable. It is possible that if the tray is fibreglass you could cobble together something with a kit from Halfords but it will probably look disastrous and almost certainly will not last. When replacing shower trays it is usual to break at least the bottom row of tiles in order to get the tray out. If the tiles have a backing of ply, as they should, it should no be a major problem. Celly Cel G Filez Rar. Sadly, most modern builders make a stud partition cubicle and fix the tiles to plasterboard, so invariably when you bust the lower layer of tiles they are stuck to plasterboard at the back and when you get them out you have nothing to stick the new tiles to. A new tray is around £40 to £100 depending on quality. Fixing it will be £100 ish if you have plywood but considerably more if you have plasterboard.
Give me a call if I can be of further help. Regards, Guy.
