Shower tray repair near Hambrook

About our shower tray repair in Hambrook

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Typical jobs include edge chips from dropped bottles and a tray that flexes, on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Hambrook

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Hambrook

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips on the edges
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scratches in the surface

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the colour is matched
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hambrook

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hambrook as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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