Shower tray repair near Dam Side

About our shower tray repair in Dam Side

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. If you’re dealing with a tray that flexes and a damaged area around the waste, we can generally put it right, on ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron alike.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lancashire.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Get a moving tray checked

Wait the full curing time before you shower. 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 cause damage underneath.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dam Side

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dam Side as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What affects the price in Dam Side

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
