How we handle shower tray repair in East Lockinge

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. If you are dealing with a dull, stained or worn surface and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can usually put it right, on stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we’re called out for in East Lockinge

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips on the edges
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common questions in East Lockinge

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your OX12 postcode.

How long before I can shower?

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

Repair or replace in East Lockinge?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in East Lockinge

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

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.
