About our shower tray repair in Aspull

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Whether it’s scratches in the surface and a damaged area around the waste, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Aspull: your questions answered

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Aspull?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your WN2 postcode.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

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

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Aspull, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.

  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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
