Shower tray repair in Firsby

Questions from Firsby

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How long before I can shower?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Shower tray repair in Firsby without replacing anything

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. We are frequently asked to fix damage from a refit or building work and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in ceramic, acrylic and stone resin.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Firsby and across Lincolnshire.

Repairing versus replacing in Firsby

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Read our prices page.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave 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. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

If you are in Firsby and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
