Need shower tray repair in Loddington?

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Shower tray repair at your home in Loddington

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish. Whether it’s scratches in the surface and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can help.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Loddington

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Aftercare tips

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

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Loddington. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you’re in Loddington and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
