Shower tray repair for Lower Pilsley homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Shower tray repair at your home in Lower Pilsley

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. If you are dealing with a dull, stained or worn surface and cracks running from the waste, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lower Pilsley

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  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

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

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.

Lower Pilsley: your questions answered

What information do you need?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our full price list.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Lower Pilsley

  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

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

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back

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