Shower tray repair in Godmanstone, done in place

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. We regularly repair cast iron, acrylic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are scratches in the surface and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use the extractor fan

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Godmanstone, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

FAQs for Godmanstone

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

How long does it take to cure?

You will get the exact time when we finish, usually the following day.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
