Shower tray repair near Little Odell

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

What affects the price in Little Odell

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Common questions in Little Odell

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Odell

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
