How we handle shower tray repair in Tuckton

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. We work on stone resin, cast iron and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are cracks running from the waste and scuffs and light scratches.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlord and trade work in Tuckton

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we are called out for in Tuckton

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A cracked shower tray

10 questions to ask before booking

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage

Tuckton: your questions answered

Do you work in Tuckton?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Tuckton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
