When a repair is not the answer

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

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

Shower tray repair at your home in Chesham Bois

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Common call-outs are for snagging damage in a new bathroom and staining and dullness across the tray, in acrylic, ceramic and cast iron.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Chesham Bois

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, 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.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Chesham Bois

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

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, where it causes damage you cannot see.

When to call us in Chesham Bois

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
