Shower tray repair near Brassington

Shower tray repair at your home in Brassington

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s edge chips from dropped bottles and a tray that flexes, we can help, on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel alike.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Questions from Brassington

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you quote from photos?

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

When can I use the shower again?

Normally the next day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do you come to Brassington?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Brassington from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  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. Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

What we work on

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

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.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

What we’re called out for in Brassington

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A crack across the base

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How your room will be protected
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How changes to the job are handled
