Signs you need shower tray repair in Lopen

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scuffs and light scratches

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about shower tray repair in Lopen

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you cover Lopen?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Lopen and the rest of Somerset. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What areas do you cover?

All of Somerset, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Lopen.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Check the seal every few months

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the 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. Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Lopen. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
