Shower tray repair for Threewaters homes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Shower tray repair in Threewaters without replacing anything

We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. If you’re dealing with chips or cracks by the plughole and chipped corners or rims, we can generally put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Threewaters

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

FAQs for Threewaters

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can landlords book you?

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

Is there a guarantee?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Are there extra charges for Threewaters?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
