Trusted shower tray repair in Walton

How it works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Shower tray repair in Walton without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our technicians work on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron, and people most often call us about chips on the edges and chips caused during fitting.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that flexes

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What affects the price in Walton

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There is 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 reply with a fixed quote.

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
