How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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.

Shower tray repair in Lawton Heath End without replacing anything

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s chips caused during fitting and chips on the edges, we can help.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Staffordshire.

Common questions in Lawton Heath End

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time on the day, generally the day after.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Lawton Heath End

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, usually along the edges or by the waste.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Damage around the waste
  • A crack across the base
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Lawton Heath End

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

For anyone letting property in or around Lawton Heath End, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What affects the price in Lawton Heath End

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. 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.
