Need shower tray repair in Oswaldtwistle?

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

About our shower tray repair in Oswaldtwistle

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic, and people most often call us about snagging damage in a new bathroom and scuffs and light scratches.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Oswaldtwistle questions

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you work in Oswaldtwistle?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Oswaldtwistle from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that flexes
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What affects the price in Oswaldtwistle

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Repair or replace in Oswaldtwistle?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
