About our shower tray repair in Glinton

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include staining and dullness across the tray and scratches from cleaning or grit, on stone resin, ceramic and cast iron.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lincolnshire.

Glinton: your questions answered

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Do you come to Glinton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Glinton and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

What we work on

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

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we’re called out for in Glinton

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.

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A crack across the base
  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that flexes
