Trusted shower tray repair in Risinghurst

What we are called out for in Risinghurst

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How to care for the finish

Choosing a repair company

How we handle shower tray repair in Risinghurst

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Whether it’s cracks running from the waste and chips caused during fitting, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Get a moving tray checked

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

FAQs for Risinghurst

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with 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 photos of each item.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Risinghurst?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your OX3 postcode.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

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

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
