Shower tray repair near Easington Lane

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Easington Lane, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

If you manage property in Easington Lane, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Repair or replace in Easington Lane?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

When to call us in Easington Lane

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Cracks running from the waste

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Easington Lane. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

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

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

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