Shower tray repair in Bankfoot

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

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

Shower tray repair in Bankfoot without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We are frequently asked to fix damage from a refit or building work and a damaged area around the waste, in ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin.

Homes around Bankfoot are mostly houses and bungalows, and a tray repair is normally a short visit.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Bankfoot: your questions answered

Can you fix shower trays at a school or business in Bankfoot?

Yes, commercial work is part of what we do. Photos and a few details are enough for a quote.

I let a flat near Low Moor station. Can you help between tenants?

Yes, rental work is a big part of what we do.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

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.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Repairing versus replacing in Bankfoot

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. If your shower tray in Bankfoot is sound, a repair is usually the better choice.

Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most clients in Bankfoot get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. The room is left tidy. In a smaller place like Bankfoot, parking is rarely a problem. Mention a lane, gate or long drive when you book and we’ll plan for it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not 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 won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Do you need shower tray repair in Bankfoot?

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

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A damaged area around the waste

If you let a flat or house near Low Moor station (about 1.4 miles south), we repair shower trays between tenancies so it’s ready to let again quickly.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Get a moving tray checked

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

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
