Shower tray repair in Lilyvale without replacing anything

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. We work on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chipped corners or rims.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Choosing a repair company

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TN25 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Lilyvale customers choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We leave the room as we found it

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Advice

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
