Shower tray repair in Laighstonehall

Shower tray repair in Laighstonehall, done in place

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We work on cast iron, acrylic and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches in the surface and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

In and around Laighstonehall, walk-in showers and shower rooms are common in bungalows. If the tray is firm, any crack or chip can be repaired in place.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go. For a home in Laighstonehall, we normally park close by and start straight away, after agreeing the plan with you.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Laighstonehall

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Laighstonehall as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. If your shower tray in Laighstonehall is sound, a repair is typically the better choice.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Colour-matched on site

See our Prices page.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
