About our shower tray repair in Elsham

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Common call-outs are for a tray that flexes and scratches from cleaning or grit, across enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

What we work on

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

What we’re called out for in Elsham

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Elsham questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across North Lincolnshire.

How long before I can shower?

Usually the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

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. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Elsham

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

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 generally cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
