Shower tray repair in Twinstead

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

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

Shower tray repair at your home in Twinstead

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. Whether it’s movement when you stand on it and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can typically put it right, on stone resin, acrylic and ceramic alike.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Questions from Twinstead

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Usually, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Twinstead?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Are there extra charges for Twinstead?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Common problems we fix in Twinstead

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

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What preparation is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Check the seal every few months

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel
