Shower tray repair in Orcop Hill

Shower tray repair at your home in Orcop Hill

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s cracks running from the waste and damage around the waste, we can typically put it right, on cast iron, stone resin and acrylic alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Orcop Hill

Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips on the edges
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that flexes

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

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

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Orcop Hill questions

Do you cover the whole of Herefordshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Orcop Hill included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Herefordshire.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Orcop Hill

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
