Shower tray repair in Nelson, done in place

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 repair lasts. Whether it’s chipped corners or rims and a crack across the base, we can typically put it right.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole 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. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A fixed quote before you book

Signs you need shower tray repair in Nelson

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before you book

  • What prep work is covered
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Nelson, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Nelson. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
