Shower Tray Repair across Lancashire

About shower tray repair in Lancashire

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a dull, stained or worn surface and damage around the waste.

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Pricing in Lancashire

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings

Common problems we fix in Lancashire

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A damaged area around the waste

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

There’s 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
