Shower tray repair in Bowridge Hill

For landlords and businesses

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.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

About our shower tray repair in Bowridge Hill

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We are often asked to fix edge chips from dropped bottles and scratches from cleaning or grit, on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. The room is left tidy.

  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 typically be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

Is there a guarantee?

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Is there a call-out fee?

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bowridge Hill. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bowridge Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Bowridge Hill, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Bowridge Hill?

Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
