Trusted shower tray repair in Datchet

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

About our shower tray repair in Datchet

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips caused during fitting and a damaged area around the waste.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Datchet

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

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

Common problems we fix in Datchet

Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Check the seal every few months

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Repair or replace in Datchet?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Datchet questions

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Datchet included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

What affects the price in Datchet

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
