Shower tray repair in Eaton

How we handle shower tray repair in Eaton

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. If you are dealing with scratches in the surface and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can help, on stone resin, cast iron and acrylic alike.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cheshire West and Chester.

Should you replace it?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

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

Eaton questions

Do the materials smell?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Eaton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Eaton. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

Most clients in Eaton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Check the seal every few months

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

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
