About our shower tray repair in West Lavington

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Typical jobs include a dull, stained or worn surface and a cracked shower tray, on stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What we are called out for in West Lavington

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for West Lavington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

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.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

West Lavington questions

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
