DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Shower tray repair at your home in Loughborough

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 will explain what we find. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are scratches from cleaning or grit and staining and dullness across the tray.

Homes in Loughborough range from older houses with added shower rooms to new builds with walk-in showers. Whatever the tray, we repair it in place.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

10 questions to ask before you book

Why repair rather than replace?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. In a town like Loughborough, a replacement may not match the rest of the room, while a repair keeps everything as it is.

Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Read our Prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Loughborough, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring all our kit in the van, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work. All we need in Loughborough is access to the room and a parking space nearby. Most visits are a single trip, with the shower tray repair finished the same day.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
