Shower tray repair near Goose Hill

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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

Shower tray repair in Goose Hill, done in place

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. We regularly repair cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic, and people most often call us about a dull, stained or worn surface and chipped corners or rims.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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 are filled and matched to the surface.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

FAQs for Goose Hill

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

How long does it take to cure?

Generally the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Goose Hill

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Goose Hill use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repairing versus replacing in Goose Hill

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. 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.

Why Goose Hill customers choose us

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  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, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
