Shower tray repair in Blandford Forum

Shower tray repair in Blandford Forum, done in place

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. If you’re dealing with scratches in the surface and a crack across the base, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

What affects the price in Blandford Forum

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Blandford Forum. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most customers in Blandford Forum get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Blandford Forum: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Is it messy?

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

How much does shower tray repair cost in Blandford Forum?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DT11 postcode.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
