When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Our hiring checklist

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

FAQs for Lawrence Hill

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Lawrence Hill is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

When can I use the shower again?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lawrence Hill

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lawrence Hill use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Same prices wherever you are

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lawrence Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NP19 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
