Shower tray repair for Todber homes

Shower tray repair at your home in Todber

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. Whether it’s cracks running from the waste and staining and dullness across the tray, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

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

Honest limits

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

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

Materials we repair

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

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.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

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

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Landlord and trade work in Todber

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Todber use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common questions in Todber

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

When can I use the shower again?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, typically the day after.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
