About our shower tray repair in Freshfield

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. Common call-outs are for scuffs and light scratches and a tray that flexes, in ceramic, acrylic and stone resin.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you need shower tray repair in Freshfield?

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Cracks running from the waste

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Freshfield: your questions answered

What happens after I send pictures?

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Sefton.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Freshfield

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Freshfield, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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.
