Shower tray repair near Capernwray

Shower tray repair at your home in Capernwray

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We are frequently asked to fix a crack across the base and scratches in the surface, across acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lancashire.

Landlord and trade work in Capernwray

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lancashire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Capernwray. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Signs you need shower tray repair in Capernwray

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Capernwray questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

How long before I can shower?

Normally the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

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

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
