Shower tray repair at your home in Lane Head
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Whether it’s scuffs and light scratches and damage from a refit or building work, we can generally put it right, on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Lane Head questions
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SK17 postcode.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlord and trade work in Lane Head
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lane Head use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we are called out for in Lane Head
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What affects the price in Lane Head
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
If you are in Lane Head and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
