Shower tray repair at your home in Grange de Lings

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Our technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about movement when you stand on it and chips on the edges.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

FAQs for Grange de Lings

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you cover the whole of Lincolnshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Grange de Lings included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How long before I can shower?

Typically the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

How do I book?

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

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Are there extra charges for Grange de Lings?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What we’re called out for in Grange de Lings

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Cracks running from the waste

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van 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’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. 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.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Check the seal every few months

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
