Trusted shower tray repair in High Harrington

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in High Harrington as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How we handle shower tray repair in High Harrington

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish. Common call-outs are for snagging damage in a new bathroom and scuffs and light scratches, in ceramic, cast iron and stone resin.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry

High Harrington questions

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in High Harrington

Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chips on the edges

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Repairing versus replacing in High Harrington

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
