Trusted shower tray repair in Brea

Shower tray repair in Brea without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Common call-outs are for a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips on the edges, across stone resin, acrylic and ceramic.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Brea as everywhere else we work.

When to call us in Brea

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A crack across the base
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chipped corners or rims

Questions to ask before you book

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Brea

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

  • The colour and finish to match

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Brea

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Landlord and trade work in Brea

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.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
