Shower tray repair for Top o' th' Lane homes

Shower tray repair in Top o' th' Lane, done in place

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our technicians work on cast iron, ceramic and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When to call us in Top o' th' Lane

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Top o' th' Lane

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Should you replace it?

The tray is generally 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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most clients in Top o' th' Lane get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

Your questions about shower tray repair in Top o' th' Lane

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will you leave a mess?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

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

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