Shower tray repair in Broadstone

What affects the price in Broadstone

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Shower tray repair in Broadstone without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Common call-outs are for chips or cracks by the plughole and edge chips from dropped bottles, on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Broadstone and across Dorset.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

What we’re called out for in Broadstone

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Cracks running from the waste

FAQs for Broadstone

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you come to Broadstone?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Broadstone and the rest of Dorset. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Will it make a mess?

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

Are there extra charges for Broadstone?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

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

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

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

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Broadstone. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
