Shower tray repair in Lodge Lees

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CT4 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

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 you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When to call us in Lodge Lees

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A tray that flexes
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chipped corners or rims

Before booking anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Questions from Lodge Lees

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you cover Lodge Lees?

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

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
