Shower tray repair in Rousdon

Shower tray repair in Rousdon without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Common call-outs are for scuffs and light scratches and cracks running from the waste, across enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

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.

Landlord and trade work in Rousdon

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Get a moving tray checked

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

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

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

When to call us in Rousdon

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips on the edges
  • Chips caused during fitting
