About our shower tray repair in Neilsland

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include chips or cracks by the plughole and scratches from cleaning or grit, in enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When to call us in Neilsland

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that flexes
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How soon you can use it again
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Neilsland, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Neilsland: your questions answered

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you work in Neilsland?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Neilsland for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What information do you need?

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

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Neilsland

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
