Shower tray repair in Minster

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Minster

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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