Shower tray repair in Great Knowley

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

About our shower tray repair in Great Knowley

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. If you are dealing with scuffs and light scratches and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can normally put it right, on stone resin, cast iron and acrylic alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Do you need shower tray repair in Great Knowley?

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Damage around the waste
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips on the edges

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How to care for the finish
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Knowley use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

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.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Repair or replace in Great Knowley?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Great Knowley. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
