Shower tray repair at your home in Lank

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. We regularly repair cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage in a new bathroom and edge chips from dropped bottles.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

FAQs for Lank

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Are there extra charges for Lank?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Lank

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A crack across the base
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips on the edges
  • Damage around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole 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 usually usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price
