Shower tray repair for Luxley homes

Shower tray repair in Luxley without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic, and people most often call us about a damaged area around the waste and edge chips from dropped bottles.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  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

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Repair or replace in Luxley?

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Luxley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Luxley

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Luxley. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you’re in Luxley and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
