Signs you need shower tray repair in Flimby

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

Common reasons people in Flimby contact us include:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A crack across the base

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  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. It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Check the seal every few months

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

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

Repairing versus replacing in Flimby

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything

Questions from Flimby

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you work in Flimby?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Flimby. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What does shower tray repair cost?

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

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
