Shower tray repair in Lowerhouses

About our shower tray repair in Lowerhouses

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Typical jobs include a crack across the base and a tray that flexes, on enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lowerhouses. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

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. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colour-matched on site

See our full price list.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Lowerhouses: your questions answered

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the exact time when we finish, usually the day after.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
