How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

How we handle shower tray repair in Elmer

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. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a dull, stained or worn surface and a crack across the base.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Elmer as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

When to call us in Elmer

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

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

How to look after the repair

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

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

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.
