Shower tray repair in Hesketh Lane

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hesketh Lane. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you are in Hesketh Lane and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

About our shower tray repair in Hesketh Lane

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. We’re frequently asked to fix a dull, stained or worn surface and damage around the waste, across acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Hesketh Lane

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Hesketh Lane is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Landlord and trade work in Hesketh Lane

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hesketh Lane as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

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

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  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, typically until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PR3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Read our full price list.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
