Shower tray repair in Upavon

Shower tray repair in Upavon without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about chips caused during fitting and staining and dullness across the tray.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repairs by material

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 are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

What affects the price in Upavon

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

If you’re in Upavon and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
