Your questions about shower tray repair in Cranham

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

When can I use the shower again?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Cranham

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Cranham

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re 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 fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
