Keeping it looking good

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

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Lescrow

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Advice

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
