About our shower tray repair in Lydmarsh

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about chips caused during fitting and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Lydmarsh and across Somerset.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Lydmarsh: your questions answered

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

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

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TA20 postcode.

When can I use the shower again?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Repairing versus replacing in Lydmarsh

Replacing a tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Lydmarsh. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Lydmarsh customers choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lydmarsh

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Lydmarsh. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back

For a price in Lydmarsh, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
