Shower tray repair in Elsthorpe, done in place

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 repair lasts. If you’re dealing with chipped corners or rims and staining and dullness across the tray, we can usually put it right.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

See our prices page.

When to call us in Elsthorpe

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A crack across the base

Questions to ask before you book

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again

FAQs for Elsthorpe

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Elsthorpe

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
