Shower tray repair in Lumby

Shower tray repair in Lumby, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. We regularly repair stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and scratches in the surface.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • The material

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Lumby

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

When to call us in Lumby

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

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again
  • What prep work is covered
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

FAQs for Lumby

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
