Choosing a repair company

Shower tray repair in Lovedean, done in place

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Common call-outs are for movement when you stand on it and a dull, stained or worn surface, on ceramic, cast iron and stone resin.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Lovedean

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most clients in Lovedean get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Questions from Lovedean

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

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

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Hampshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

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

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

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair
