Shower tray repair near Ringshall

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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

Shower tray repair in Ringshall without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. We work on stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a tray that flexes and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

In a village like Ringshall, showers are frequently later additions to older homes, and we always check the tray’s support first.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Ringshall: your questions answered

I let a flat near Tring station. Can you help between tenants?

Of course: pictures and an address are all we need for a price.

Will you travel to Ringshall?

Yes, we do: small places like Ringshall are covered as standard. Tell us if access is tricky.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Ringshall included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

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

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

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 it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

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

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy. For a rural address like Ringshall, we plan the journey in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring everything needed for the shower tray repair, so there’s no second trip.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
