Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

FAQs for Little Horsted

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you come to Little Horsted?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Little Horsted from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can landlords book you?

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

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.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Horsted

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When to call us in Little Horsted

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Damage around the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A crack across the base

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the colour is matched
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Little Horsted

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
