How we handle shower tray repair in Goulceby

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. We’re often asked to fix a dull, stained or worn surface and damage around the waste, in enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Goulceby

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Our hiring checklist

Goulceby: your questions answered

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

When can I use the shower again?

You will get the exact time when we finish, normally the next day.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Goulceby?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

What affects the price in Goulceby

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Goulceby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
