Shower tray repair for Elsted Marsh homes

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Elsted Marsh

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Elsted Marsh, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Elsted Marsh. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Get a moving tray checked

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Elsted Marsh questions

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
