Shower tray repair at your home in Legburthwaite

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We are frequently asked to fix scuffs and light scratches and a tray that flexes, on cast iron, stone resin and acrylic.

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

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage from a refit or building work

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CA12 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
