Trusted shower tray repair in Four Lane Ends

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

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

About our shower tray repair in Four Lane Ends

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. If you’re dealing with damage around the waste and staining and dullness across the tray, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When to call us in Four Lane Ends

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A crack across the base
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

If you manage property in Four Lane Ends, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

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

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

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