Our hiring checklist

Shower tray repair in Ropsley without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Our technicians work on cast iron, stone resin and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are movement when you stand on it and damage from a refit or building work.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

FAQs for Ropsley

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will there be a smell?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Are there extra charges for Ropsley?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ropsley

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lincolnshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Ropsley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ropsley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
