Shower tray repair near Aughton

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Shower tray repair in Aughton, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Common call-outs are for cracks running from the waste and a tray that flexes, in cast iron, ceramic and stone resin.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Aughton: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you work in Aughton?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Aughton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. 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.
