Shower tray repair near Clay Lake

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

How we handle shower tray repair in Clay Lake

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Our technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and cracks running from the waste.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lincolnshire.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Clay Lake. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Advice

Signs you need shower tray repair in Clay Lake

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A damaged area around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • When it can be used again
  • Who turns up on the day

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Common questions in Clay Lake

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Do you cover Clay Lake?

We do. Technicians travel to Clay Lake from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
