About our shower tray repair in Ruardean Hill

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you have a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and damage around the waste, we can usually put it right, on stone resin, cast iron and acrylic alike.

In a village like Ruardean Hill, many shower trays are in cottages and barn conversions, where floors may be timber. A crack is only repaired once we know the tray is firm.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Ruardean Hill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Somewhere like Ruardean Hill needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring everything needed for the shower tray repair, so there’s no second trip.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Common problems we fix in Ruardean Hill

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Facilities teams at buildings such as Woodside Primary School can book us for changing-room showers too.

Comparing quotes

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before booking

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse away soap after showering

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

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your GL17 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
