How we handle shower tray repair in East Combe

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

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, and the work is guaranteed.

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips caused during fitting

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in East Combe

For anyone letting property in or around East Combe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Combe use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why East Combe customers choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

East Combe: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
