Shower tray repair in Great Casterton, done in place

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We’re often asked to fix a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and damage from a refit or building work, across acrylic, cast iron and ceramic.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Get a moving tray checked

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Questions from Great Casterton

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you work in Great Casterton?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Great Casterton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you cover the entire of Lincolnshire?

We cover the whole UK, including Great Casterton and the rest of Lincolnshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Casterton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Common problems we fix in Great Casterton

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Damage around the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scuffs and light scratches

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Great Casterton

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Great Casterton. The price comes down to:

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

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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
