Shower tray repair at your home in Cranbrook Common

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. We are frequently asked to fix scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Cranbrook Common

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  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

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What affects the price in Cranbrook Common

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cranbrook Common. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Cranbrook Common

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

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
