How we handle shower tray repair in Benhall

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We’re frequently asked to fix damage around the waste and a tray that flexes, in ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Benhall

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Benhall use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry

Your questions about shower tray repair in Benhall

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Benhall and the rest of Gloucestershire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

For a price in Benhall, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we work on in Benhall

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

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Common problems we fix in Benhall

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips on the edges

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
