Shower tray repair in Coniston

When to call us in Coniston

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

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Shower tray repair in Coniston without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair stone resin, cast iron and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are scuffs and light scratches and a cracked shower tray.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places

Repair or replace in Coniston?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Coniston, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Coniston: your questions answered

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Are there extra charges for Coniston?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
