Shower tray repair at your home in Pipe and Lyde

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you are dealing with a damaged area around the waste and cracks running from the waste, we can help, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  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, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Questions from Pipe and Lyde

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Pipe and Lyde and the rest of Herefordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will it make a mess?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you cover Pipe and Lyde?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Pipe and Lyde and the rest of Herefordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Get a moving tray checked

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

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Do you need shower tray repair in Pipe and Lyde?

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that flexes

10 questions to ask before booking

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Pipe and Lyde. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Repairing versus replacing in Pipe and Lyde

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
