Shower tray repair in Stoke Abbott

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Shower tray repair in Stoke Abbott without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. If you are dealing with a crack across the base and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can help, on enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Stoke Abbott

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A crack across the base
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We make sure 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. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Get a moving tray checked

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

FAQs for Stoke Abbott

Do you cover Stoke Abbott?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Stoke Abbott for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
