Trusted shower tray repair in Great Bealings

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

About our shower tray repair in Great Bealings

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for chips on the edges and movement when you stand on it, on enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

When to call us in Great Bealings

Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A damaged area around the waste

Before you book anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who will actually do the work

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
