Shower tray repair in Donhead St Andrew, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks running from the waste and movement when you stand on it.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

FAQs for Donhead St Andrew

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

When to call us in Donhead St Andrew

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that flexes

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

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.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Donhead St Andrew. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
