What we’re called out for in Lillington

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before booking

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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

Materials we work on in Lillington

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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 your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
