Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Lostock Hall questions

Will the price change on the day?

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

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Lostock Hall?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your PR5 postcode.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can I fix it myself?

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 frequently lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

When to call us in Lostock Hall

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

Common reasons people in Lostock Hall contact us include:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A damaged area around the waste

Comparing quotes

  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
