Shower tray repair in Ostend

About our shower tray repair in Ostend

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Our technicians work on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about chips on the edges and scratches from cleaning or grit.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Ostend

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Common reasons people in Ostend contact us are:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Cracks running from the waste

Before you book anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long it needs to cure
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. 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 you replace it?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

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

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

What affects the price in Ostend

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repairs by material

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 rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Landlord and trade work in Ostend

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ostend as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
