About our shower tray repair in Brightwell-cum-Sotwell

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. We are frequently asked to fix a cracked shower tray and snagging damage in a new bathroom, in cast iron, acrylic and ceramic.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

Brightwell-cum-Sotwell: your questions answered

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Are there extra charges for Brightwell-cum-Sotwell?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Brightwell-cum-Sotwell

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A crack across the base
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Damage around the waste

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How the colour is matched
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done 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, and the work is guaranteed.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

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.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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