Need shower tray repair in East Compton?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Shower tray repair in East Compton, done in place

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We are often asked to fix chips on the edges and damage from a refit or building work, on cast iron, acrylic and ceramic.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

Materials we work on in East Compton

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use the extractor fan

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When to call us in East Compton

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A damaged area around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What prep work is covered
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

Questions from East Compton

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you cover East Compton?

We do. We send a technician to East Compton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the exact time when we finish, typically the following day.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
