Shower tray repair for Cranwell homes

About our shower tray repair in Cranwell

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair cast iron, stone resin and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about damage around the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lincolnshire.

When to call us in Cranwell

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Damage around the waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about shower tray repair in Cranwell

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Cranwell?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cranwell use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Cranwell, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
