Questions from Lifford

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

When can I use the shower again?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

About our shower tray repair in Lifford

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are chips on the edges and staining and dullness across the tray.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Lifford as everywhere else we work.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Lifford

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.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips on the edges
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Repair or replace in Lifford?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Lifford, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss 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 anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

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

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
