How we handle shower tray repair in Charmouth

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We are frequently asked to fix cracks running from the waste and scuffs and light scratches, on stone resin, acrylic and cast iron.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

If you manage property in Charmouth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What affects the price in Charmouth

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

When to call us in Charmouth

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chips on the edges
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scratches in the surface

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

What we cannot put right

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

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

Materials we work on in Charmouth

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down 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. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
