Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Store bottles off the tray

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Shower tray repair at your home in Swanpool

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair cast iron, acrylic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a tray that flexes and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

In and around Swanpool, walk-in showers and shower rooms are common in bungalows. If the tray is firm, any crack or chip can be repaired in place.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result. For a home in Swanpool, we normally park close by and start immediately.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  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, typically until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

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

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Swanpool

Can you repair shower trays in a rental near Hykeham station?

Yes, rental work is a big part of what we do.

Do you work for schools and businesses in Swanpool?

Yes, and we’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited. Tell us about access and timings for the building.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Do the materials smell?

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

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Around Swanpool, arranging several trades for a replacement can take a while. A repair needs just one visit.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

For a price in Swanpool, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
