Shower tray repair for St Margarets homes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Stone resin

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

How we handle shower tray repair in St Margarets

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We regularly repair acrylic, stone resin and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are a dull, stained or worn surface and chips on the edges.

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

For landlords and businesses

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

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • No need to remove anything

Read our pricing.

What we can’t put right

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

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

St Margarets: your questions answered

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Herefordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Do you cover St Margarets?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to St Margarets from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Signs you need shower tray repair in St Margarets

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A crack across the base

Comparing quotes

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if they find more damage
