What else we do in Upper Pond Street
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging 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.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Upper Pond Street
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Do you come to Upper Pond Street?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Upper Pond Street from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
