Trusted shower tray repair in Greenacres

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

About our shower tray repair in Greenacres

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for damage from a refit or building work and a crack across the base, across cast iron, ceramic and acrylic.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Greenacres

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

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

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Check the seal every few months

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Greenacres

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled steel

Can pets and children be at home?
