How we handle shower tray repair in Pipe Gate

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. Typical jobs include a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chipped corners or rims, across acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Pipe Gate

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire 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. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

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