Shower tray repair near Poynings

Shower tray repair at your home in Poynings

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. We regularly repair stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are edge chips from dropped bottles and a cracked shower tray.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Poynings

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Questions from Poynings

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Poynings?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What we’re called out for in Poynings

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

The things customers typically mention when they call include:

  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before booking

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
