Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

What we work on

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

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pondwell

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

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. 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.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
