Landlords, agents and businesses in Catforth
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
About our shower tray repair in Catforth
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We’re often asked to fix chipped corners or rims and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, on ceramic, cast iron and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Catforth. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most clients in Catforth get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price

Related advice
Do you need shower tray repair in Catforth?
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
The things clients normally mention when they call include:
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chips caused during fitting
- Damage around the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who will actually do the work
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Repairing versus replacing in Catforth
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
