How we handle shower tray repair in St Issey

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s edge chips from dropped bottles and scuffs and light scratches, we can normally put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Your questions about shower tray repair in St Issey

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

How long before I can shower?

Normally the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do I have to be there?

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

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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

Materials we repair

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

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find 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 colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
