How we handle shower tray repair in Preesall

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s staining and dullness across the tray and a damaged area around the waste, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Preesall. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We ensure the tray does not 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. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t 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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. 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.

When to call us in Preesall

Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scratches in the surface

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Check the seal every few months

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lancashire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Questions from Preesall

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Are there extra charges for Preesall?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I have to be there?

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

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
