Shower tray repair for Asterby homes

Shower tray repair in Asterby, done in place

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include a damaged area around the waste and movement when you stand on it, across ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron.

Homes around Asterby often have showers added to older buildings, so we check how the tray is supported before repairing.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we are called out for in Asterby

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A crack across the base
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Facilities teams at buildings such as Scamblesby Church of England Primary School can book us for changing-room showers too.

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to care for the finish
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlords, agents and businesses in Asterby

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

If you manage property in Asterby, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there. Somewhere like Asterby needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. We bring everything needed for the shower tray repair, so there is no second trip.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space clear if you can

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Older homes around Asterby may have sizes and fittings that new pieces don’t match. Repairing avoids those problems.

Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How we price shower tray repair

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
