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 often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Do you need shower tray repair in Four Lane Ends?

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips caused during fitting

What affects the price in Four Lane Ends

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

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Common questions in Four Lane Ends

What do you need from me?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

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

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
