Signs you need shower tray repair in Barrow Hill

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chipped corners or rims

Questions from Barrow Hill

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Do you work in Barrow Hill?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Barrow Hill. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you cover the whole of Dorset?

Everywhere in the UK, Barrow Hill included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Barrow Hill. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Barrow Hill, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One price list for the whole UK

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Barrow Hill

If you manage property in Barrow Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Store bottles off the tray

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
