Trusted shower tray repair in Orton Waterville

Shower tray repair in Orton Waterville without replacing anything

You do not 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. Our technicians work on stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are damage around the waste and damage from a refit or building work.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Orton Waterville

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Do you need shower tray repair in Orton Waterville?

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A crack across the base
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Common questions in Orton Waterville

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

How long does it take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, generally the next day.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
