Questions from Axmansford

Do you work in Axmansford?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Axmansford and the rest of Hampshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

How long does it take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, typically the next day.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Shower tray repair in Axmansford without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Whether it’s a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can help.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

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

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
