Shower tray repair in Charlton Horethorne

About our shower tray repair in Charlton Horethorne

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

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

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Landlord and trade work in Charlton Horethorne

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Charlton Horethorne. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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