DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Shower tray repair in Clarendon Park, done in place

We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Common call-outs are for a dull, stained or worn surface and damage from a refit or building work, across cast iron, acrylic and ceramic.

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

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Clarendon Park, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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 before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can

Repairing versus replacing in Clarendon Park

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When to call us in Clarendon Park

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Damage around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

Clarendon Park questions

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
