Do you need shower tray repair in Ousby?

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that flexes

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ousby

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix 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.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What we can’t put right

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

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Trays cracked in several places

Repair or replace in Ousby?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Quotes from your photos

  • A picture taken from further back
