Signs you need shower tray repair in Pegsdon

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

Scratches in the surface
A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
Chipped corners or rims
A crack across the base

How we handle shower tray repair in Pegsdon

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Whether it’s edge chips from dropped bottles and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can help.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Check the seal every few months
Use the extractor fan

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Questions from Pegsdon

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How long does it take to cure?

Typically the day after. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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 heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

We protect the floor and the enclosure.
Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
We refinish the surface to match the tray.
We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: 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’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
