Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

FAQs for Old Ingarsby

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Old Ingarsby included. Travel is included in the price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

How soon can you come?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Do you cover Old Ingarsby?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Old Ingarsby and the rest of Leicestershire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Common problems we fix in Old Ingarsby

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Look out for these signs:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that flexes

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • When it can be used again
  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Repair or replace: which is better?
