Shower tray repair near Earlesfield

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

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

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

About our shower tray repair in Earlesfield

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Typical jobs include chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

Questions from Earlesfield

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Is my repair covered?

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

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Do you cover the whole of Lincolnshire?

We work UK-wide, so Earlesfield is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Earlesfield. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we’re called out for in Earlesfield

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

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Damage around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Movement when you stand on it

Before you book anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
