Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Shower tray repair in Rishton without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. If you’re dealing with chips or cracks by the plughole and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Discoloured square shower tray restored with a new white finish

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Repairing versus replacing in Rishton

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the area is dry

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Rishton

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.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered

Common questions in Rishton

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Rishton. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can landlords book you?

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

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
