Shower tray repair for Cardinal's Green homes

Shower tray repair in Cardinal's Green without replacing anything

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. If you are dealing with a damaged area around the waste and a crack across the base, we can typically put it right, on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional 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 normally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Cardinal's Green, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cardinal's Green as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Cardinal's Green

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

When to call us in Cardinal's Green

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Damage around the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Cardinal's Green

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Cardinal's Green clients choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Take a look at our pricing.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
