Shower tray repair for Derry Hill homes

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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 reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

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

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Derry Hill

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Choosing a repair company

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Derry Hill. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlord and trade work in Derry Hill

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

FAQs for Derry Hill

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Wiltshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Derry Hill.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
