Shower tray repair near Bailrigg

Shower tray repair at your home in Bailrigg

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Common call-outs are for a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scratches in the surface, in enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron.

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

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Questions from Bailrigg

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you work in Bailrigg?

We do. Technicians travel to Bailrigg from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • Damage around the waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Bailrigg

  • Ceramic

Landlord and trade work in Bailrigg

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For anyone letting property in or around Bailrigg, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Check the seal every few months

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Can I fix it myself?

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 normally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
