Need shower tray repair in Stainsacre?

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How we handle shower tray repair in Stainsacre

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We regularly repair cast iron, ceramic and acrylic, and people most often call us about a damaged area around the waste and staining and dullness across the tray.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Signs you need shower tray repair in Stainsacre

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that flexes
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A damaged area around the waste

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Stainsacre. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stainsacre use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
