Shower tray repair in Shorthampton

Shower tray repair in Shorthampton, done in place

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Common call-outs are for a damaged area around the waste and staining and dullness across the tray, across ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that moves underfoot

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  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 usually usable the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Common problems we fix in Shorthampton

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A cracked shower tray

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Shorthampton: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How long before I can shower?

Usually the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
