Shower tray repair near Horsley

Shower tray repair at your home in Horsley

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We are frequently asked to fix damage from a refit or building work and damage around the waste, in acrylic, cast iron and ceramic.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Do you need shower tray repair in Horsley?

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

Look out for these signs:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A crack across the base

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your photos

See our pricing.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Horsley

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We leave the room clean.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for 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, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Horsley: your questions answered

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.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
