Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Whether it’s scuffs and light scratches and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can normally put it right.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Your questions about shower tray repair in Lockwood

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Lockwood?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your HD4 postcode.

Do you cover the entire of Kirklees?

We work UK-wide, so Lockwood is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

What we’re called out for in Lockwood

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How to look after the finish
  • What preparation is included
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why Lockwood customers choose us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron

What affects the price in Lockwood

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lockwood. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
