About our shower tray repair in Snape Green

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. If you are dealing with a dull, stained or worn surface and damage from a refit or building work, we can generally put it right, on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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

FAQs for Snape Green

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Will it make a mess?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you cover the whole of Sefton?

All of Sefton, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Snape Green

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Snape Green as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

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