About our shower tray repair in Fulwood

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We are often asked to fix a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and edge chips from dropped bottles, on ceramic, cast iron and acrylic.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Common problems we fix in Fulwood

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips on the edges
  • Damage around the waste

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Fulwood

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for 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. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

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

Landlord and trade work in Fulwood

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lancashire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
