Shower tray repair near Monkton

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

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.

How we handle shower tray repair in Monkton

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. We regularly repair enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are edge chips from dropped bottles and a tray that flexes.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

FAQs for Monkton

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Monkton. Prices do not change with location.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Common problems we fix in Monkton

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

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that flexes
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What prep work is covered
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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.

Repair or replace in Monkton?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

What happens on the day

On the day, 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 tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
