Shower tray repair in Careby

Shower tray repair in Careby without replacing anything

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. We regularly repair enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a cracked shower tray and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

Stick to gentle cleaners
Rinse away soap after showering
Get a moving tray checked
Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Careby questions

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

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

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

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Careby?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What affects the price in Careby

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

Doing more than one item at once
The material and finish
Any earlier repairs that need removing first
How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

A photo taken from further back
A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The material, if you know it
Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Careby, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Careby?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
Next we clean and prepare the tray.
Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

Have a window or extractor fan available
Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Let us know if it has been repaired before
