Shower tray repair near Lymington

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

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

Shower tray repair in Lymington without replacing anything

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Whether it’s chipped corners or rims and a crack across the base, we can help, on cast iron, acrylic and stone resin alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Should you replace it?

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Lymington

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How soon can you come?

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

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you come to Lymington?

We do. We send a technician to Lymington for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Do you need shower tray repair in Lymington?

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A cracked shower tray

Choosing a repair company

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. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lymington

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
