How we handle shower tray repair in Bell's Cross

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you are dealing with damage around the waste and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Bell's Cross

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bell's Cross. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Our hiring checklist

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Bell's Cross

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

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles off the tray

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

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What affects the price in Bell's Cross

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
