Shower tray repair for Buck's Cross homes

Landlord and trade work in Buck's Cross

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Shower tray repair at your home in Buck's Cross

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair acrylic, ceramic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the edges and a crack across the base.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Buck's Cross and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Buck's Cross

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.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Damage around the waste
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
