Trusted shower tray repair in West Hill

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

How we handle shower tray repair in West Hill

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish. Common call-outs are for staining and dullness across the tray and damage around the waste, on cast iron, ceramic and acrylic.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you 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 the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

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.
