How we handle shower tray repair in Hollins 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 repair lasts. Common call-outs are for a damaged area around the waste and cracks running from the waste, across ceramic, acrylic and stone resin.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Hollins Lane and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you are in Hollins Lane and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hollins Lane

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairing versus replacing in Hollins Lane

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

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 early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
