About our shower tray repair in Puriton

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips caused during fitting, in ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset.

Landlord and trade work in Puriton

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What we are called out for in Puriton

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A crack across the base

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Puriton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most clients in Puriton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place

How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

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

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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