Shower tray repair near Lowton Heath

Shower tray repair in Lowton Heath without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include a crack across the base and edge chips from dropped bottles, across stone resin, cast iron and acrylic.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Warrington.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When to call us in Lowton Heath

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that flexes
  • Scratches in the surface

Comparing quotes

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Lowton Heath?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lowton Heath as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Common questions in Lowton Heath

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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 reseal the tray as well?

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

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What areas do you cover?

All of Warrington, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Lowton Heath

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

Repairs by material

Ceramic

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

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
