Shower tray repair at your home in Henbury

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 repair lasts. If you are dealing with damage around the waste and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can help, on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Henbury. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Colour-matched on site

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What we’re called out for in Henbury

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Use the extractor fan

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Henbury

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Henbury use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

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