How we handle shower tray repair in Great Chishill

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We are often asked to fix edge chips from dropped bottles and scuffs and light scratches, on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Repairing versus replacing in Great Chishill

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What we can’t put right

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
