Shower tray repair in Oakenholt

How we handle shower tray repair in Oakenholt

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for a damaged area around the waste and staining and dullness across the tray, on ceramic, stone resin and cast iron.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes 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 make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Repair or replace in Oakenholt?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What your shower tray is made of matters

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

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