Shower tray repair in Carlby, done in place

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Common questions in Carlby
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How long does it take to cure?
Generally the next day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PE9 postcode.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Are there extra charges for Carlby?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Carlby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Carlby. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually 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.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Carlby
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carlby as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
