Shower tray repair for Grimscott homes

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

What we work on

  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin

Shower tray repair in Grimscott without replacing anything

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Common call-outs are for a tray that flexes and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, across stone resin, acrylic and cast iron.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

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

Work for landlords and builders

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

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  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

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use the extractor fan

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Repair or replace in Grimscott?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EX23 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
