About our shower tray repair in Ingatestone

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s scuffs and light scratches and cracks running from the waste, we can help, on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic alike.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed 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, then guarantee it for a year.

Do you need shower tray repair in Ingatestone?

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A crack across the base
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ingatestone

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What affects the price in Ingatestone

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Get a moving tray checked

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

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 early repairs help.

Acrylic

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

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

What we work on

  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
