Shower tray repair for Boston homes

Shower tray repair at your home in Boston

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. We are often asked to fix staining and dullness across the tray and scratches in the surface, on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Boston and across Lincolnshire.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

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

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lincolnshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

FAQs for Boston

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

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

Do you come to Boston?

We do. We send a technician to Boston for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

How soon can you come?

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

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  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 the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PE21 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

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

When to call us in Boston

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, usually along the edges or by the waste.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage around the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scuffs and light scratches

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How to look after the finish
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

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.
