Shower tray repair in Monkton Heathfield

How we handle shower tray repair in Monkton Heathfield

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a crack across the base and staining and dullness across the tray.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Questions from Monkton Heathfield

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

What areas do you cover?

All of Somerset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

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 a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  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 whole tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Related advice

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Monkton Heathfield use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Monkton Heathfield, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
