Shower tray repair for Lenton Abbey homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 typically cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How we handle shower tray repair in Lenton Abbey

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 damage around the waste and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can help, on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

Common questions in Lenton Abbey

Do you work in Lenton Abbey?

We do. Technicians travel to Lenton Abbey from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can you make an old tray look new?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Landlord and trade work in Lenton Abbey

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lenton Abbey as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Lenton Abbey customers choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Common problems we fix in Lenton Abbey

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Damage around the waste
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Aftercare advice
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
