Book shower tray repair in Hellescott

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Shower tray repair in Hellescott without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Whether it’s a crack across the base and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can usually put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Do you need shower tray repair in Hellescott?

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A crack across the base
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips caused during fitting

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

10 questions to ask before booking

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

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 can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price
