Shower tray repair in Carr Hill

Shower tray repair at your home in Carr Hill

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 are not disturbed. If you’re dealing with movement when you stand on it and a damaged area around the waste, we can usually put it right, on acrylic, cast iron and stone resin alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Carr Hill and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

The process

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Common problems we fix in Carr Hill

Cracks often start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

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

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Carr Hill. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair
