Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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

Shower tray repair at your home in Challock

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. If you’re dealing with scratches from cleaning or grit and damage around the waste, we can usually put it right, on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron alike.

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

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

What we’re called out for in Challock

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scratches in the surface

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

Materials we repair

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

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job.

Do I need to be at home?

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Repairing versus replacing in Challock

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
