Shower tray repair near Stanpit

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Shower tray repair at your home in Stanpit

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Whether it’s snagging damage in a new bathroom and a crack across the base, we can typically put it right.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BH23 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we are called out for in Stanpit

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Damage around the waste

Questions to ask before booking

  • What preparation is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

FAQs for Stanpit

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

When can I use the shower again?

Generally the day after. We will confirm before we leave.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

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

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

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

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

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
