Shower tray repair in Benthall

Shower tray repair at your home in Benthall

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Whether it’s damage around the waste and movement when you stand on it, we can help, on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel alike.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

What we are called out for in Benthall

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before you book

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

Materials we repair

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

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Questions from Benthall

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repair or replace in Benthall?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Read our prices page.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
