Shower tray repair in Holme without replacing anything

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We’re frequently asked to fix a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chipped corners or rims, on enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lancashire.

Holme: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before you book

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Common problems we fix in Holme

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Damage around the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A crack across the base

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Holme

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Holme. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Access to the area

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

If you are in Holme 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

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
