Shower tray repair for Atlantic Wharf homes

About our shower tray repair in Atlantic Wharf

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair ceramic, acrylic and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about staining and dullness across the tray and edge chips from dropped bottles.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Atlantic Wharf

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips on the edges

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Atlantic Wharf clients choose us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A fixed quote before booking

What affects the price in Atlantic Wharf

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Questions from Atlantic Wharf

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

When can I use the shower again?

Generally the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Check the seal every few months

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
