Shower tray repair in Sleaford

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

About our shower tray repair in Sleaford

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that flexes and chips caused during fitting.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sleaford

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

Materials we work on in Sleaford

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Sleaford

Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips on the edges

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
