Can I fix it myself?

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 generally cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Shower tray repair in Grimsby without replacing anything

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. If you are dealing with scuffs and light scratches and chips caused during fitting, we can help, on acrylic, stone resin and ceramic alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Grimsby and across North East Lincolnshire.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Grimsby as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

FAQs for Grimsby

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Grimsby

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

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips on the edges

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

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.

What affects the price in Grimsby

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
