Shower tray repair in Dadford, done in place

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. We’re frequently asked to fix chipped corners or rims and a cracked shower tray, across acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel.

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

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Signs you need shower tray repair in Dadford

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A crack across the base
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that flexes

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
