Shower tray repair near Cowcliffe

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

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. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Shower tray repair in Cowcliffe, done in place

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Whether it’s scratches in the surface and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can help, on cast iron, stone resin and acrylic alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Cowcliffe and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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.

Common problems we fix in Cowcliffe

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Cowcliffe questions

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How long before I can shower?

Normally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you come to Cowcliffe?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Cowcliffe from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Cowcliffe. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
