About our shower tray repair in Tattershall Thorpe

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We regularly repair cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about edge chips from dropped bottles and chips or cracks by the plughole.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

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.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 usually cheaper.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

If you’re in Tattershall Thorpe and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Tattershall Thorpe questions

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Get a moving tray checked

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
