Shower tray repair near Rimington

Shower tray repair at your home in Rimington

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. We regularly repair ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are a damaged area around the waste and a dull, stained or worn surface.

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

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early

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

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

FAQs for Rimington

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

When to call us in Rimington

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A crack across the base

Before you book anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
