How we handle shower tray repair in Badbury

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 crack does not come back. Whether it’s a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and staining and dullness across the tray, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early

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

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Badbury: your questions answered

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Badbury use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Common problems we fix in Badbury

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that flexes

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
