Shower tray repair in Lintzford

Shower tray repair in Lintzford without replacing anything

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and cracks running from the waste, we can help, on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in Lintzford

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

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

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
