Shower tray repair in Lendalfoot

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. 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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

FAQs for Lendalfoot

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can you make an old tray look new?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

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

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

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

Enamelled steel

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

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Lendalfoot

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that flexes

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

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.
