Common problems we fix in Lower Sundon

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. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Movement when you stand on it

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

Shower tray repair in Lower Sundon, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in ceramic, cast iron and stone resin.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Lower Sundon. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

If you are in Lower Sundon and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Lower Sundon

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Get a moving tray checked

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
