Shower tray repair in Loose, done in place

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Whether it’s damage around the waste and cracks running from the waste, we can generally put it right.

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

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Landlord and trade work in Loose

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Loose as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Loose. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Loose

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ME15 postcode.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

When to call us in Loose

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A crack across the base
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
