How we handle shower tray repair in East Ashling

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. If you are dealing with staining and dullness across the tray and a tray that flexes, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What affects the price in East Ashling

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 then the old filler has to be removed 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, then guarantee it for a year.

Your questions about shower tray repair in East Ashling

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in East Ashling.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

What we’re called out for in East Ashling

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

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that flexes
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Comparing quotes

  • How the colour is matched
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
