Shower tray repair in Austerfield

What we’re called out for in Austerfield

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Look out for these signs:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that flexes
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

About our shower tray repair in Austerfield

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We work on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and movement when you stand on it.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Nottinghamshire.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

Materials we work on in Austerfield

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

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

  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 clean up and give you the curing time.
