Shower tray repair for Lamport homes

How we handle shower tray repair in Lamport

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage in a new bathroom and cracks running from the waste.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Lamport. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

What affects the price in Lamport

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Lamport

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Before booking anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What preparation is included
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

Materials we work on in Lamport

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
