Shower tray repair near Capel Cross

Shower tray repair in Capel Cross without replacing anything

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Whether it’s staining and dullness across the tray and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can help, on acrylic, stone resin and cast iron alike.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Capel Cross questions

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you need shower tray repair in Capel Cross?

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.

Common reasons people in Capel Cross contact us include:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that flexes

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if they find more damage

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Capel Cross. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Take a look at our prices page.

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Capel Cross, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

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

What we work on

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

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
