Shower tray repair near Lane

What affects the price in Lane

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Lane. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

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

Shower tray repair at your home in Lane

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Common call-outs are for chips on the edges and a damaged area around the waste, on enamelled steel, 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 will sort it.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Lane questions

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Lane?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your TR8 postcode.

Do you work in Lane?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Lane. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Are there extra charges for Lane?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What we’re called out for in Lane

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, normally along the edges or by the waste.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scuffs and light scratches

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who turns up on the day

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lane

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
