Shower tray repair for Swillbrook homes

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How we handle shower tray repair in Swillbrook

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. Our technicians work on acrylic, stone resin and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are scratches in the surface and cracks running from the waste.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Swillbrook and across Lancashire.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Swillbrook, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

The process

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

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access

Common questions in Swillbrook

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Swillbrook

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that flexes

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the colour is matched
  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work
