How we handle shower tray repair in Butterton

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. If you’re dealing with a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

Materials we work on in Butterton

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

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

When to call us in Butterton

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Our hiring checklist

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Butterton

When can I use the shower again?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Is it messy?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Butterton customers choose us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
