Common problems we fix in Old Alresford

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A crack across the base
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

10 questions to ask before booking

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

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

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Questions from Old Alresford

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Old Alresford?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

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

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

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job.
