Need shower tray repair in Bowbrook?

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. 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, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  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

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Most customers in Bowbrook get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Shower tray repair in Bowbrook, done in place

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We work on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners or rims and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Bowbrook

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, 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.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Bowbrook?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we repair

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

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

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Should you replace it?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We leave the room as we found it

Read our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Landlord and trade work in Bowbrook

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bowbrook use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What we are called out for in Bowbrook

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A crack across the base
  • Chips on the edges
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What preparation is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
