How we handle shower tray repair in Ingham

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Typical jobs include a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and damage around the waste, in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

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 over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common questions in Ingham

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is my repair covered?

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

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ingham

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When to call us in Ingham

Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scuffs and light scratches

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Check the seal every few months

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

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