Trusted shower tray repair in Baybridge

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

10 questions to ask before booking

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For anyone letting property in or around Baybridge, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Store bottles off the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
