DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Shower tray repair in Litchard, done in place

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. If you are dealing with a dull, stained or worn surface and chips on the edges, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your shower tray is made of matters

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.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

What we are called out for in Litchard

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Litchard

Do you cover Litchard?

We do. We send a technician to Litchard for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Are there extra charges for Litchard?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
