Lydford: your questions answered

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

When can I use the shower again?

Usually the day after. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Common problems we fix in Lydford

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Common reasons people in Lydford contact us are:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Cracks running from the waste

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Lydford?

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.

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
