What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

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

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

How we handle shower tray repair in Crail

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. We regularly repair stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are edge chips from dropped bottles and scratches from cleaning or grit.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

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 typically cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

FAQs for Crail

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Crail

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use the extractor fan

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

If you’re in Crail and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Crail

Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
