Shower tray repair for Shalbourne homes

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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 pictures.

Shower tray repair in Shalbourne without replacing anything

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 screen and tiling stay as they are. Whether it’s a crack across the base and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can generally put it right, on stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

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. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  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 generally be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Shalbourne. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Shalbourne, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we’re called out for in Shalbourne

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

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A crack across the base
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Before you book anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Shalbourne

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

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

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

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.

Common questions in Shalbourne

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Will it make a mess?

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

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Are there extra charges for Shalbourne?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
