Shower tray repair for Lowgill homes

Shower tray repair in Lowgill, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We work on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are staining and dullness across the tray and edge chips from dropped bottles.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What your shower tray is made of matters

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Lowgill. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Lowgill, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Repair or replace in Lowgill?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

  • Rooms protected and left tidy

The process

There is 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. 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 following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage

Related advice

Common questions in Lowgill

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Lancashire.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
