Shower tray repair for Preston homes

About our shower tray repair in Preston

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s scuffs and light scratches and a damaged area around the waste, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Questions from Preston

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Repair or replace in Preston?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Preston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Preston

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Check the seal every few months

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

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.

When to call us in Preston

Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the colour is matched
