Shower tray repair in Little Stanion

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Shower tray repair at your home in Little Stanion

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our technicians work on acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are chips or cracks by the plughole and a crack across the base.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire 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. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Landlord and trade work in Little Stanion

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What we are called out for in Little Stanion

Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it

Before you book anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How to look after the finish
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
