Shower tray repair near Ridgeway

Landlord and trade work in Ridgeway

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 to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Shower tray repair in Ridgeway, done in place

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the edges and snagging damage in a new bathroom, in enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin.

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

What we are called out for in Ridgeway

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that flexes
  • Scuffs and light scratches

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Aftercare advice
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Ridgeway

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

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
