About our shower tray repair in Heskin

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. Whether it’s scratches from cleaning or grit and chipped corners or rims, we can normally put it right, on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Heskin

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scuffs and light scratches

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

FAQs for Heskin

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Do I need to be at home?

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

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 get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you cover the whole of Lancashire?

The whole UK, including all of Lancashire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
