FAQs for Leire

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

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.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Shower tray repair in Leire without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic, and people most often call us about movement when you stand on it and staining and dullness across the tray.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Repair or replace in Leire?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Leire clients choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

See our prices page.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

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

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Leire

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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

Can I fix it myself?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
