About our shower tray repair in Ditton Green

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. If you are dealing with scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that flexes, we can help, on ceramic, stone resin and cast iron alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We do not 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.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Ditton Green?

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chipped corners or rims

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ditton Green use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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