Shower tray repair for Lawnhead homes

Shower tray repair at your home in Lawnhead

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. If you’re dealing with edge chips from dropped bottles and movement when you stand on it, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Enamelled steel

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

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Lawnhead. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

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

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Common questions in Lawnhead

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Do you cover Lawnhead?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Lawnhead and the rest of Staffordshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

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. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is usually 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. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Lawnhead. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lawnhead as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
