Do you need shower tray repair in Tinwell?

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, normally along the edges or by the waste.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Tinwell. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Tinwell

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Your questions about shower tray repair in Tinwell

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
