About our shower tray repair in Howsham

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for edge chips from dropped bottles and a damaged area around the waste, in enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lincolnshire.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed price.

Landlord and trade work in Howsham

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A DIY attempt is not 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.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

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

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
