Shower tray repair in Synod Inn

How we handle shower tray repair in Synod Inn

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. If you are dealing with a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a cracked shower tray, we can help, on ceramic, acrylic and cast iron alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we work on in Synod Inn

  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron

When to call us in Synod Inn

Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scratches in the surface

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

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

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

What affects the price in Synod Inn

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  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, generally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
