Shower tray repair in Cranhill

Shower tray repair in Cranhill, done in place

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Our technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are a crack across the base and a dull, stained or worn surface.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Cranhill and across Warwickshire.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we’re called out for in Cranhill

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

Common questions in Cranhill

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Cranhill is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Are there extra charges for Cranhill?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cranhill

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cranhill use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

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. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.
