Shower tray repair for Streatley homes

About our shower tray repair in Streatley

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Typical jobs include a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and cracks running from the waste, across acrylic, ceramic and stone resin.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Common questions in Streatley

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Will there be a smell?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I have to be there?

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Landlord and trade work in Streatley

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Streatley

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Scratches in the surface

How to compare quotes

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
