Shower tray repair near Lime Street

Shower tray repair at your home in Lime Street

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. We regularly repair ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are chips caused during fitting and a crack across the base.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we are called out for in Lime Street

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Cracks running from the waste

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Lime Street. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  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 colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Lime Street

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Gloucestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Common questions in Lime Street

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Gloucestershire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Repair or replace in Lime Street?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
