Shower tray repair near Medstead

Shower tray repair in Medstead without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We regularly repair enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are a cracked shower tray and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Medstead as everywhere else we work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Questions from Medstead

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you cover the entire of Hampshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Medstead included. There is no extra charge for travel.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

Materials we work on in Medstead

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

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Medstead. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

Common problems we fix in Medstead

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A crack across the base
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
