Trusted shower tray repair in Godstone

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Godstone

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

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

What we’re called out for in Godstone

Trays crack mainly because they move: 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.

Common reasons people in Godstone contact us include:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A crack across the base
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Comparing quotes

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Godstone: your questions answered

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

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

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price
