Common questions in Linmere

What information do you need?

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

Do you need shower tray repair in Linmere?

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips on the edges

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

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.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. 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. 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. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

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