Need shower tray repair in Lostock Gralam?

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Shower tray repair in Lostock Gralam, done in place

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are a damaged area around the waste and cracks running from the waste.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Lostock Gralam: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

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

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you cover the entire of Cheshire West and Chester?

We work UK-wide, so Lostock Gralam is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What affects the price in Lostock Gralam

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Ceramic

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Lostock Gralam

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A crack across the base
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled
