Trusted shower tray repair in Carlton Scroop

How we handle shower tray repair in Carlton Scroop

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include chips caused during fitting and edge chips from dropped bottles, across cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

For landlords and businesses

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 matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carlton Scroop as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repairing versus replacing in Carlton Scroop

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Carlton Scroop

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

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

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Are there extra charges for Carlton Scroop?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

What we are called out for in Carlton Scroop

Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Look out for these signs:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chips on the edges
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Carlton Scroop. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
