Shower tray repair in Lyminge

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Shower tray repair at your home in Lyminge

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. We are often asked to fix cracks running from the waste and snagging damage in a new bathroom, across stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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

The process

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 job 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 whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • 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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Do you need shower tray repair in Lyminge?

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

Customers generally contact us about:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chipped corners or rims

Before booking anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
