Shower tray repair at your home in Millthorpe

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about a dull, stained or worn surface and a damaged area around the waste.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in Millthorpe

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Millthorpe, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Millthorpe

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Lincolnshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

What happens next?

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

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

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

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

Repairing versus replacing in Millthorpe

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

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, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

When to call us in Millthorpe

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A damaged area around the waste

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
