Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish. If you are dealing with a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a crack across the base, we can help.

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Do you need shower tray repair in Alton Priors?

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips on the edges

Questions to ask before booking

  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

Alton Priors: your questions answered

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Alton Priors and the rest of Wiltshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found 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

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Check the seal every few months

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
