Trusted shower tray repair in Tursdale

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  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. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

About our shower tray repair in Tursdale

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. If you’re dealing with scratches in the surface and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Tursdale and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Tursdale

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Tursdale. Prices don’t change with location.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

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

Enamelled steel

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

When to call us in Tursdale

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
