Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise 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.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Lightwood

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Landlord and trade work in Lightwood

For anyone letting property in or around Lightwood, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

What the surface is made of
Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Access to the area
How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
Where you are, by postcode

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

Rinse away soap after showering
Ventilate the room after showers
Replace failing sealant promptly
Store bottles off the tray

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

Let the surface dry out before the visit
Open a window if you can
Let us know which floor the room is on
