About our shower tray repair in West Stour

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We work on enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners or rims and a damaged area around the waste.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common questions in West Stour

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

Do you cover West Stour?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to West Stour. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

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

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SP8 postcode.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Are there extra charges for West Stour?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
