Shower tray repair in Cove Bay

Shower tray repair at your home in Cove Bay

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. Our technicians work on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are damage around the waste and staining and dullness across the tray.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we work on in Cove Bay

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Landlord and trade work in Cove Bay

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
