How we handle shower tray repair in Lownie Moor

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, acrylic and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about cracks running from the waste and staining and dullness across the tray.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Landlord and trade work in Lownie Moor

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

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.

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Common problems we fix in Lownie Moor

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

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Damage around the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scuffs and light scratches

Before booking anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
