Shower tray repair for Lemsford homes

When to call us in Lemsford

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A tray that flexes
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scuffs and light scratches

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Shower tray repair in Lemsford, done in place

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. If you’re dealing with edge chips from dropped bottles and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can typically put it right, on stone resin, cast iron and acrylic alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Repair or replace in Lemsford?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Lemsford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your AL8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can tenants book a repair?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
