Shower tray repair in Donhead St Mary, done in place

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. We regularly repair enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are chips or cracks by the plughole and a cracked shower tray.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  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, normally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything

Your questions about shower tray repair in Donhead St Mary

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Donhead St Mary, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
