Vickerstown: your questions answered

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Vickerstown?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will it make a mess?

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

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Take a look at our prices page.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

What we are called out for in Vickerstown

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
