Shower tray repair near Michelmersh

About our shower tray repair in Michelmersh

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. We are frequently asked to fix staining and dullness across the tray and a tray that flexes, across ceramic, stone resin and cast iron.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Michelmersh

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Check the seal every few months

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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

Common problems we fix in Michelmersh

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

Michelmersh: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

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.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
