Our hiring checklist

Shower tray repair at your home in Cornhill

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Whether it’s damage from a refit or building work and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can help, on cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

FAQs for Cornhill

How soon can you come?

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

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Aberdeen. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Generally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

What information do you need?

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

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Why Cornhill customers choose us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
