Shower tray repair for Bentinck homes

How we handle shower tray repair in Bentinck

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s edge chips from dropped bottles and scratches in the surface, we can help.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Do you need shower tray repair in Bentinck?

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips on the edges
  • Cracks running from the waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How to look after the finish
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

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 popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Questions from Bentinck

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Bentinck?

Landlord and trade work in Bentinck

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
