How we handle shower tray repair in Purton

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. If you’re dealing with cracks running from the waste and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Purton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

When to call us in Purton

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before you book

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Check the seal every few months

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Questions from Purton

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do I have to be there?

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

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
