Shower tray repair near Lâleston

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

How we handle shower tray repair in Lâleston

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We’re often asked to fix a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and snagging damage in a new bathroom, in stone resin, acrylic and cast iron.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Lâleston

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chipped corners or rims

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

Lâleston questions

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, normally the day after.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you cover Lâleston?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Lâleston from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

If you are in Lâleston and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting 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 whether it can be repaired.
