Shower tray repair in Skelmersdale

Work for landlords and builders

About our shower tray repair in Skelmersdale

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. Common call-outs are for cracks running from the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, in ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Skelmersdale and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Store bottles off the tray

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Skelmersdale

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Skelmersdale. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Skelmersdale, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repair or replace in Skelmersdale?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
