Need shower tray repair in Chambercombe?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

About our shower tray repair in Chambercombe

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. We are frequently asked to fix chipped corners or rims and a damaged area around the waste, in cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Chambercombe questions

Do you redo the sealant?

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

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Common problems we fix in Chambercombe

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips on the edges
  • Damage around the waste
  • Cracks running from the waste

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Chambercombe. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Chambercombe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

For a price in Chambercombe, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and 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 match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

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