Shower tray repair in Caulcott

Shower tray repair in Caulcott without replacing anything

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. Our technicians work on cast iron, acrylic and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about chips on the edges and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

Materials we work on in Caulcott

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

Common problems we fix in Caulcott

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chipped corners or rims

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Repairs by material

Stone resin

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Caulcott: your questions answered

Do you come to Caulcott?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Caulcott for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Will it make a mess?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Caulcott is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

What affects the price in Caulcott

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back

If you are in Caulcott and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use the extractor fan

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. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
