Shower tray repair near Parkside

Shower tray repair in Parkside, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Typical jobs include chips or cracks by the plughole and a dull, stained or worn surface, in ceramic, acrylic and stone resin.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you need shower tray repair in Parkside?

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that flexes

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Parkside

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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.

Repair or replace in Parkside?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our pricing.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

FAQs for Parkside

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

What do you need from me?

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

The process

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 typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
