Shower tray repair near Caistor

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Caistor. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you are in Caistor and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  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. It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use the extractor fan

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic

Landlord and trade work in Caistor

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Caistor as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Caistor, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We leave the room as we found it

Caistor: your questions answered

Do you cover the entire of Lincolnshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Caistor included. Travel is included in the price.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Can landlords book you?

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