Trusted shower tray repair in Axford

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Ceramic

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

Axford: your questions answered

What happens next?

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

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel

Repairing versus replacing in Axford

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we are called out for in Axford

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:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Damage around the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Movement when you stand on it

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Axford as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
