Shower tray repair for Lordswood homes

Shower tray repair at your home in Lordswood

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. If you’re dealing with a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can generally put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Lordswood

  • Stone resin

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lordswood. 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

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your ME5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

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

FAQs for Lordswood

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
