Shower tray repair in Brimpton Common, done in place

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Common call-outs are for a crack across the base and damage around the waste, across enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Brimpton Common

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

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.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit
