Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Grainsby, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When to call us in Grainsby

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Our hiring checklist

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you’re in Grainsby and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How it works

Your technician turns 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 we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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 entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Common questions in Grainsby

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

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

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
