Shower tray repair near Plungington

Shower tray repair in Plungington without replacing anything

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. We work on ceramic, stone resin and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are a dull, stained or worn surface and scratches from cleaning or grit.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Plungington and across Lancashire.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse away soap after showering

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.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Plungington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Plungington

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

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos 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 whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour-matched on site

Do you need shower tray repair in Plungington?

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:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that flexes
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

Plungington questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Lancashire.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
