Shower tray repair in Carisbrooke

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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

Shower tray repair at your home in Carisbrooke

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a tray that flexes and a damaged area around the waste.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When to call us in Carisbrooke

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

Look out for any of the following:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Damage around the waste

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What preparation is included
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. The room is left tidy.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our prices page.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Common questions in Carisbrooke

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
