Shower tray repair in Shoscombe

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

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

Shower tray repair in Shoscombe, done in place

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. We work on enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches from cleaning or grit and staining and dullness across the tray.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

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

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why Shoscombe customers choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

What we are called out for in Shoscombe

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that flexes

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  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 normally usable the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can

Shoscombe: your questions answered

Is it messy?

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

Do you redo the sealant?

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

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
