Trusted shower tray repair in Peakirk

Shower tray repair at your home in Peakirk

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We’re frequently asked to fix movement when you stand on it and damage around the waste, on acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Common questions in Peakirk

How long does it take to cure?

We will give you the curing time on the day, generally the next day.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Do you work in Peakirk?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Peakirk from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

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

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Peakirk, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Repair or replace in Peakirk?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
