Shower tray repair near Meerhay

Shower tray repair at your home in Meerhay

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Whether it’s damage around the waste and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

What affects the price in Meerhay

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Meerhay. The price comes down to:

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

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Meerhay

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Meerhay as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Meerhay

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Meerhay questions

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
