Shower tray repair in Offton

Shower tray repair in Offton, done in place

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about snagging damage in a new bathroom and damage around the waste.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Related advice

Signs you need shower tray repair in Offton

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Damage around the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Offton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Offton. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

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

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Offton: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Offton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Repair or replace in Offton?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
