Shower tray repair in Mawdesley, done in place

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We are often asked to fix scratches in the surface and chips or cracks by the plughole, in stone resin, cast iron and ceramic.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Your questions about shower tray repair in Mawdesley

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Do you cover the entire of Lancashire?

We work UK-wide, so Mawdesley is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Lancashire.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

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

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why Mawdesley clients choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business

See our pricing.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mawdesley use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed price.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
