Shower tray repair near Leycett

Shower tray repair in Leycett, done in place

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. If you’re dealing with snagging damage in a new bathroom and chipped corners or rims, we can usually put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

When to call us in Leycett

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Movement when you stand on it

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Repairing versus replacing in Leycett

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your ST5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Leycett: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
