Shower tray repair near Strumpshaw

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Common problems we fix in Strumpshaw

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 typically come from dropped bottles.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A crack across the base
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

FAQs for Strumpshaw

When can I use the shower again?

Normally the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Strumpshaw. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Strumpshaw

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
