Trusted shower tray repair in Ramsdean

Shower tray repair in Ramsdean without replacing anything

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We work on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic, and people most often call us about cracks running from the waste and edge chips from dropped bottles.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Ramsdean questions

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

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

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Ramsdean

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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

Landlord and trade work in Ramsdean

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
