About our shower tray repair in Sower Carr

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. We regularly repair cast iron, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are cracks running from the waste and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

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

Choosing a repair company

Questions from Sower Carr

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you work in Sower Carr?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Sower Carr. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Lancashire.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Ceramic

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Sower Carr. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

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 price, not a guess.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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