Shower tray repair near Covenham St Mary

Shower tray repair in Covenham St Mary 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’ll explain what we find. Common call-outs are for snagging damage in a new bathroom and damage around the waste, in ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Covenham St Mary

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Do you cover the entire of Lincolnshire?

Across the UK, and that includes Covenham St Mary. Prices do not change with location.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace in Covenham St Mary?

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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before you book

Read our pricing.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole 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. Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Covenham St Mary. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
