When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Padiham

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common problems we fix in Padiham

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Chips on the edges
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Damage around the waste

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

  • How to care for the finish

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Padiham: your questions answered

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

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

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there any odour?

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

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
