Shower tray repair in Netteswell, done in place

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. We regularly repair enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about scratches in the surface and a tray that flexes.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Questions from Netteswell

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Do you work in Netteswell?

We do. Technicians travel to Netteswell from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

Can a stained tray be refinished?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

When can I use the shower again?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

  • Chips caused during fitting

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

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

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Repair or replace in Netteswell?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
