Shower tray repair in Furness Vale

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Advice

How we handle shower tray repair in Furness Vale

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We are frequently asked to fix damage from a refit or building work and scratches from cleaning or grit, in cast iron, acrylic and stone resin.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Can I fix it myself?

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

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Read our prices page.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Get a moving tray checked

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Common problems we fix in Furness Vale

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Damage around the waste
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips caused during fitting

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
