Shower tray repair for Ludlow homes

Shower tray repair in Ludlow, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. We regularly repair cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during fitting and edge chips from dropped bottles.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

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 can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Common problems we fix in Ludlow

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

The things customers typically mention when they call include:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A crack across the base
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chipped corners or rims

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before booking

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Where we work around Ludlow

Ludlow is about 20 miles west of Kidderminster, in Shropshire. Wherever you are in the SY8 postcode area, we come to you. Ludlow is one of 433 towns and villages in Shropshire we cover. We work right across the region, from Ludlow to Birmingham (35 miles away).

We cover every part of SY8 and the streets around it. You will find streets such as Market Street, High Street and Castle Square. With the A49 and B4361 close by, Ludlow is easy for our technicians to reach. We also travel to East Hamlet (1 mile north), Ludford (1 mile south), Bromfield (2 miles north-west), Ashford Bowdler (2 miles south) and Batchcott (3 miles south-west). We also work in nearby towns such as Church Stretton (12 miles north), Craven Arms (7 miles north-west), Cleobury Mortimer (10 miles east), Bishop's Castle (15 miles north-west), Highley (15 miles north-east) and Clun (14 miles west). Being one of Shropshire’s larger places, Ludlow is somewhere we visit frequently.

Local landmarks in Ludlow

Nearby you will also find Ludlow Castle (0.5 miles west) and Ludlow Community Hospital (less than half a mile north). For a walk, there’s High Vinnalls.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Questions from Ludlow

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Do you cover Ludlow?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Ludlow. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
