How we handle shower tray repair in Market Harborough

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. Whether it’s a damaged area around the waste and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Market Harborough

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When to call us in Market Harborough

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Damage around the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work
