About our shower tray repair in Lillesdon

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on acrylic, ceramic and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are edge chips from dropped bottles and staining and dullness across the tray.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would 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, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Questions from Lillesdon

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lillesdon. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Repairing versus replacing in Lillesdon

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. 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.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

When to call us in Lillesdon

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that flexes

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
