Shower tray repair near Gunby

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Shower tray repair in Gunby, done in place

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair ceramic, acrylic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are scratches from cleaning or grit and movement when you stand on it.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Gunby as everywhere else we work.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Any details about the material

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common questions in Gunby

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Are there extra charges for Gunby?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

How long does it take to cure?

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

What we’re called out for in Gunby

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Common reasons people in Gunby contact us include:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chipped corners or rims

Before booking anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Check the seal every few months

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • No need to remove anything
