How we handle shower tray repair in Lenton

We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Common call-outs are for a dull, stained or worn surface and damage around the waste, across acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin.

In a village like Lenton, many shower trays are in cottages and barn conversions, where timber floors can move. A crack is only repaired once we know the tray is firm.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

What we work on

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Lenton?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do you come to Lenton?

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Repair or replace in Lenton?

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. For a rural home like those around Lenton, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while shower tray repair is one trip.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

What we are called out for in Lenton

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A tray that flexes
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips on the edges

If you manage a building such as Ingoldsby Academy, we repair changing-room showers as well as work in homes.

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Lenton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Lenton, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it. In a village or hamlet like Lenton, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
