Trusted shower tray repair in Nab's Head

Shower tray repair in Nab's Head, done in place

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a crack across the base and chips on the edges.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Nab's Head and across Lancashire.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Nab's Head

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

What does shower tray repair cost?

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

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Nab's Head?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour-matched on site
