Trusted shower tray repair in Oakridge Lynch

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Oakridge Lynch

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Generally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Do you need shower tray repair in Oakridge Lynch?

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Comparing quotes

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Aftercare tips

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

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
