Shower tray repair at your home in Charleston

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. If you have snagging damage in a new bathroom and scratches in the surface, we can help.

In and around Charleston, walk-in showers and shower rooms are common in bungalows. A firm tray can be repaired where it sits.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

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

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Repairing versus replacing in Charleston

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. If your shower tray in Charleston is sound, a repair is normally the better choice.

Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Common problems we fix in Charleston

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

Clients generally contact us about:

  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

If you manage a building such as Menzieshill High School, we repair changing-room showers as well as work in homes.

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How to look after the finish

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again. In a smaller place like Charleston, parking is rarely a problem. Mention a lane, gate or long drive when you book and we will plan for it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Charleston

  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Charleston. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • The type of damage

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
