Shower tray repair for Lostock Green homes

Shower tray repair at your home in Lostock Green

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Our technicians work on ceramic, cast iron and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about a dull, stained or worn surface and chipped corners or rims.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common questions in Lostock Green

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Lostock Green and the rest of Cheshire West and Chester. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

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

Common problems we fix in Lostock Green

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A damaged area around the waste

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlord and trade work in Lostock Green

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lostock Green. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
