Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Repair or replace in Four Lane Ends?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you are in Four Lane Ends and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Common questions in Four Lane Ends

How long before I can shower?

Usually the next day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you cover the entire of Lancashire?

The whole UK, including all of Lancashire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
