How we handle shower tray repair in Boylestone

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We regularly repair ceramic, acrylic and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about edge chips from dropped bottles and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Boylestone

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Boylestone?

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

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Questions from Boylestone

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

How long does it take to cure?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will you leave a mess?

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

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
