Shower tray repair for Bawdeswell homes

Common questions in Bawdeswell

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

About our shower tray repair in Bawdeswell

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. If you’re dealing with edge chips from dropped bottles and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can usually put it right, on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic alike.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.

Do you need shower tray repair in Bawdeswell?

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Bawdeswell

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

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  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. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

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.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
