Shower tray repair near Lapford

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Shower tray repair at your home in Lapford

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. We regularly repair enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are a dull, stained or worn surface and movement when you stand on it.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Lapford?

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What affects the price in Lapford

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Should you replace it?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
