Shower tray repair in Germiston

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

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

How we handle shower tray repair in Germiston

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. We regularly repair ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are a damaged area around the waste and chips on the edges.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Germiston questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How long before I can shower?

Usually the day after. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

When can you do it?

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

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Common problems we fix in Germiston

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

Common reasons people in Germiston contact us are:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips on the edges
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Germiston. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

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