Shower Base Restoration
Shower tray resurfacing is a popular and hassle-free method to renew your shower pan in less than a day!
Why trust me?
This is not a factory finish. That acrylic shower tray is after repair and resurfacing by Eager Beaver. It takes only a few hours to restore damaged, worn, or tired shower tray surface to as new condition, without removing or disconnecting!
New look of your shower base in a matter of hours.
Most of the common problems with acrylic, porcelain, or stone cast shower trays can be sorted with the one-day quality service I offer!
Think of the wasted time and hassle when you discover that along with a damaged shower base replacement you must also pay for the tiler, plumber, and builder…it will not be just a quick installation, and the cost of a new shower base will be the least of your problems. Unless you plan an entire bathroom refurbishment, I would like to introduce you to the less problematic solution when it comes to a damaged shower tray repair.
The shower base resurfacing is a one day service, no disconnecting, moving, or unplumb is usually required.
The service is very similar to bath resurfacing (if you haven’t been there yet, I strongly encourage You to read it first).
The principles for repair are mainly the same, and materials used are often common, so think of it as a smaller version of my main service – bath resurfacing.
The most common reasons why people decide to replace their shower base:
- structural damage to the surface
- cosmetic damage to the shower base (chips, scratches)
- yellowing of a top surface or chemical damage
- a new concept for your bathroom ware, entire bathroom refurbishment.
With the last reason, you may already be prepared to spend that little extra, but if the damage happened accidentally and you need a quick and effective solution then I’m your man! As long as the surface is stable and the structural damage doesn’t mean a cannonball-sized hole in it, why would you not have it restored in 6-8hrs time? After the treatment it is ready to be used in 24hrs, I will apply the new mastic around it (if it’s white or clear) as a complimentary service and cover it with a proper trade warranty. And not only is the technician friendly, but the service and price is too :)
Choosing between a new shower base and a shower repair.
First of all, you have to ask yourself what would you benefit from more? If you are replacing the shower base along with everything else in your shower room, then installation of a new one, will not be such a problem as when it’s just to replace one thing. Why? Well, here’s a bit of a surprise – because you won’t just slide out your shower base and slide in a new one. Usually, it’s to dismantle the cabin doors, find that the shower is in the wall deeper than the tiles, and trying to move the shower base result in damaged tiles. Now, you may think that one or two tiles can be replaced along with the base of your shower…if you have some spare and don’t need a new box (that may be stopped being produced after 1-2 years as new tiles design became more popular). The new shower base has to also fit exactly to the measurement of the old one and no damage shall occur during the replacement process. oh…and one more thing – plumbing. Good if it all fits the old system…well, if not then you already know that it’s again more money and time…
So all the above is an authentic cost of replacement. What do I do differently? I work with the existing surface and give it a ‘new skin’ in about 6-8hrs, doing all the work on the same day avoiding all the extras that I pointed just before.
Can I save every damaged shower base?
As with everything, some things are built to last a lifetime, whilst others are made from cheap materials and it’s not always possible to make it last. Depending on the damage, the solution can be as minimal as a small cosmetic repair, or even cleaning/polishing the top surface or a full resurface may be the right treatment. I don’t always try to offer to resurface as the best solution – I warranty my repairs so have to be sure that I will not waste our time with something that won’t last anyway because it’s structurally beyond repair.
