Shower tray repair for Horsebrook homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Shower tray repair in Horsebrook without replacing anything

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish. Our technicians work on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are a damaged area around the waste and chips on the edges.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Landlord and trade work in Horsebrook

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Horsebrook use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

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

Enamelled steel

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

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
