Do you need shower tray repair in Arkley?

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that flexes

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Arkley. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Arkley

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
