About our shower tray repair in Gratwich

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Typical jobs include a crack across the base and scratches from cleaning or grit, in acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gratwich

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Gratwich

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

FAQs for Gratwich

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

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 photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your ST14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
