Signs you need shower tray repair in Heatley

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Damage around the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chipped corners or rims

Shower tray repair in Heatley, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. We regularly repair stone resin, cast iron and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are cracks running from the waste and chips caused during fitting.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Heatley questions

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
