Need shower tray repair in Lount?

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Shower tray repair in Lount without replacing anything

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Whether it’s scuffs and light scratches and a tray that flexes, we can help, on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Common problems we fix in Lount

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Damage around the waste

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

FAQs for Lount

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

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

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Lount.

Do you cover the entire of Leicestershire?

All of Leicestershire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Lount

Repair or replace in Lount?

Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 typically cheaper.
