Shower tray repair at your home in Lintz

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Typical jobs include staining and dullness across the tray and edge chips from dropped bottles, across acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Lintz. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lintz

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

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What a repair cannot fix

When to call us in Lintz

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
