Shower tray repair in Scartho

Repairing versus replacing in Scartho

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. 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. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How we handle shower tray repair in Scartho

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. Our technicians work on cast iron, ceramic and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are staining and dullness across the tray and a crack across the base.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Scartho as everywhere else we work.

Do you need shower tray repair in Scartho?

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Common questions in Scartho

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Do the materials smell?

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

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Which areas do you work in?

All of North East Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What affects the price in Scartho

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

For a price in Scartho, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Scartho

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

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
