Shower tray repair in Estover

Shower tray repair at your home in Estover

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scratches from cleaning or grit, across stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in Estover

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Estover, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Questions to ask before booking

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Estover

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

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

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
