Shower tray repair in Treknow

Shower tray repair in Treknow without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our technicians work on ceramic, acrylic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are chips or cracks by the plughole and chips caused during fitting.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Treknow questions

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

When can I use the shower again?

We will give you the curing time on the day, usually the following day.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Treknow. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

When to call us in Treknow

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that flexes
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A crack across the base

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Work done at your home or business

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
