Trusted shower tray repair in Hampton Poyle

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Shower tray repair at your home in Hampton Poyle

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped corners or rims and a damaged area around the waste.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

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. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

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

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

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Hampton Poyle

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A damaged area around the waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Hampton Poyle

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
