Shower tray repair for Virginia Water homes

How we handle shower tray repair in Virginia Water

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We work on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are chips on the edges and scratches in the surface.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Virginia Water and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant 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.

Landlord and trade work in Virginia Water

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Virginia Water as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Virginia Water questions

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

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

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Virginia Water included. Travel is included in the price.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally the next day. We will confirm before we leave.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you need shower tray repair in Virginia Water?

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A damaged area around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Virginia Water. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
