Shower tray repair in Mannings Heath

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

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

Shower tray repair at your home in Mannings Heath

We repair a lot of shower trays. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. Our technicians work on ceramic, stone resin and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about cracks running from the waste and chips or cracks by the plughole.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Mannings Heath

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Damage around the waste

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Mannings Heath

For anyone letting property in or around Mannings Heath, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repair or replace in Mannings Heath?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One price list for the whole UK

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Mannings Heath. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
