Shower tray repair for Aughton homes

Shower tray repair in Aughton, done in place

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for staining and dullness across the tray and damage around the waste, across acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Aughton

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

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

Aughton questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your YO42 postcode.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What we are called out for in Aughton

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Aughton. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
