When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Your questions about shower tray repair in Lime Kiln

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Will the price change on the day?

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

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Do you work in Lime Kiln?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Lime Kiln for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Lime Kiln?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What affects the price in Lime Kiln

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common problems we fix in Lime Kiln

Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Damage around the waste

Before booking anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How to look after the finish

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Lime Kiln

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Lime Kiln. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Lime Kiln customers choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

  • Colour-matched on site

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
