Shower tray repair in Birthorpe

Shower tray repair at your home in Birthorpe

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Common call-outs are for a dull, stained or worn surface and cracks running from the waste, across ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repairing versus replacing in Birthorpe

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Work done at your home or business

FAQs for Birthorpe

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Lincolnshire.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time on the day, usually the following day.

Do you come to Birthorpe?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Birthorpe. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Birthorpe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
