Shower tray repair in Monkwood

Shower tray repair in Monkwood without replacing anything

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped corners or rims and damage from a refit or building work.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Monkwood

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common problems we fix in Monkwood

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A crack across the base
  • Scuffs and light scratches

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How to look after the finish

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Check the seal every few months

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry

Related advice

Your questions about shower tray repair in Monkwood

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Monkwood included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
