Shower tray repair near Cousley Wood

Shower tray repair at your home in Cousley Wood

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. If you’re dealing with snagging damage in a new bathroom and a tray that flexes, we can typically put it right.

In a village like Cousley Wood, many shower trays are in cottages and barn conversions, where floors may be timber. We check the tray is solid before repairing a crack.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Somewhere like Cousley Wood needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the shower tray repair comes with us in one trip.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cousley Wood

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cousley Wood use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When to call us in Cousley Wood

Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A damaged area around the waste

Landlords with property near Wadhurst station (about 2.1 miles west) use us between tenancies, so shower trays are repaired rather than replaced.

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Replacement in Cousley Wood means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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