Shower tray repair in Kirkbampton

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Shower tray repair in Kirkbampton, done in place

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. Common call-outs are for chips caused during fitting and chipped corners or rims, on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Should you replace it?

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. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What we’re called out for in Kirkbampton

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about shower tray repair in Kirkbampton

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Will there be a smell?

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

What affects the price in Kirkbampton

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole 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. Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.
