How we handle shower tray repair in Lawrence Hill

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. If you are dealing with a crack across the base and damage from a refit or building work, we can generally put it right.

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

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Landlord and trade work in Lawrence Hill

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lawrence Hill use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Common problems we fix in Lawrence Hill

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Before booking anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • How the colour is matched
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before booking

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  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. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Common questions in Lawrence Hill

What areas do you cover?

All of Bracknell Forest, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Do you work in Lawrence Hill?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Lawrence Hill. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lawrence Hill. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most customers in Lawrence Hill get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
