How we handle shower tray repair in Stow Bedon

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We work on enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are a crack across the base and staining and dullness across the tray.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Stow Bedon and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

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.

What we are called out for in Stow Bedon

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that flexes
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Stow Bedon

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Stow Bedon: your questions answered

Do you work in Stow Bedon?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Stow Bedon. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.

How do I book?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Are there extra charges for Stow Bedon?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
