Shower tray repair in Skellingthorpe

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Shower tray repair in Skellingthorpe without replacing anything

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish. Whether it’s cracks running from the waste and movement when you stand on it, we can help, on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Skellingthorpe

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Skellingthorpe use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. 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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Everything repaired in place

When to call us in Skellingthorpe

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
