Shower tray repair for Timbersbrook homes

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Shower tray repair at your home in Timbersbrook

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. If you’re dealing with snagging damage in a new bathroom and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can help, on stone resin, acrylic and cast iron alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Repair or replace in Timbersbrook?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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.

Questions from Timbersbrook

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

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 a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Are there extra charges for Timbersbrook?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Timbersbrook

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

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that flexes
  • A crack across the base
  • Scuffs and light scratches

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
