Shower tray repair in Bampton Grange, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. We work on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about cracks running from the waste and a dull, stained or worn surface.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Questions from Bampton Grange

Can you resurface a whole tray?

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

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Do you come to Bampton Grange?

We do. Technicians travel to Bampton Grange from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bampton Grange use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that flexes

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Repairing versus replacing in Bampton Grange

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
