Shower tray repair in Hoghton Bottoms

How we handle shower tray repair in Hoghton Bottoms

You do not 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. If you’re dealing with a cracked shower tray and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • 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.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most customers in Hoghton Bottoms get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Hoghton Bottoms questions

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Hoghton Bottoms?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your PR5 postcode.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Hoghton Bottoms and the rest of Lancashire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse away soap after showering

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.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

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.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Honest limits

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

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
