Shower tray repair in Lydiate

How we handle shower tray repair in Lydiate

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Common call-outs are for chips caused during fitting and chips or cracks by the plughole, across acrylic, cast iron and stone resin.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Lydiate

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Lydiate clients choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour-matched on site

Your questions about shower tray repair in Lydiate

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Lydiate?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your L31 postcode.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

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

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lydiate

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Lydiate, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
