Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Lane End. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Read our full price list.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Landlord and trade work in Lane End

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Lane End

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Lane End: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Are there extra charges for Lane End?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How long does it take to cure?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • 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.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
