Shower tray repair near Ensbury Park

Shower tray repair in Ensbury Park, done in place

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Typical jobs include a cracked shower tray and staining and dullness across the tray, in ceramic, stone resin and cast iron.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Ensbury Park and across Bournemouth.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Common problems we fix in Ensbury Park

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips on the edges
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • What preparation is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
