Shower tray repair for Richmond Hill homes

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Shower tray repair in Richmond Hill, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. If you are dealing with snagging damage in a new bathroom and scuffs and light scratches, we can help, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Questions from Richmond Hill

Do you cover the whole of Bournemouth?

We cover the entire UK, including Richmond Hill and the rest of Bournemouth. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BH2 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

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

What we are called out for in Richmond Hill

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, usually along the edges or by the waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Comparing quotes

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Richmond Hill

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

What we work on

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