Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

About our shower tray repair in The Down

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on acrylic, ceramic and stone resin, and people most often call us about a crack across the base and chips on the edges.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Your questions about shower tray repair in The Down

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

When can I use the shower again?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in The Down.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we are called out for in The Down

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, usually along the edges or by the waste.

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that flexes
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A cracked shower tray

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Check the seal every few months

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
