Shower tray repair in Stretton

How we handle shower tray repair in Stretton

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and people most often call us about a tray that flexes and cracks running from the waste.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Stretton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Stretton: your questions answered

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is my repair covered?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How soon can you come?

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

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Stretton included. Travel is included in the price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Honest limits

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

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Check the seal every few months

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

What we are called out for in Stretton

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that flexes

Questions to ask before you book

  • What preparation is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the colour is matched
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
