Trusted shower tray repair in Southmead

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

For a price in Southmead, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Advice

About our shower tray repair in Southmead

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 so the repair blends in. If you’re dealing with edge chips from dropped bottles and chips caused during fitting, we can help, on enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

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

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

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Southmead. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What your shower tray is made of matters

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 gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What we’re called out for in Southmead

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before you book

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Southmead

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Southmead?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Southmead.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
