How we handle shower tray repair in Crank
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips on the edges.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Repairing versus replacing in Crank
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Colour-matched on site
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Crank, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Common questions in Crank
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Crank?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you work in Crank?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Crank and the rest of St Helens. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When can I use the shower again?
Usually the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Common problems we fix in Crank
Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A cracked shower tray
- Chipped corners or rims
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- What prep work is covered
- How to look after the finish
- How the room is protected while they work
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
