Our hiring checklist

How we handle shower tray repair in Loans

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. If you are dealing with chips caused during fitting and cracks running from the waste, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

FAQs for Loans

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Repair or replace in Loans?

A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Loans. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs
