Trusted shower tray repair in Icklingham

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, 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.

How we handle shower tray repair in Icklingham

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. We’re frequently asked to fix a tray that flexes and a dull, stained or worn surface, on stone resin, cast iron and ceramic.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Do you need shower tray repair in Icklingham?

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Look out for these signs:

  • A crack across the base
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Icklingham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Icklingham

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

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

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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