Shower tray repair in Cranworth

Shower tray repair in Cranworth without replacing anything

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chips on the edges, we can typically put it right.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cranworth as everywhere else we work.

What we are called out for in Cranworth

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A crack across the base
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Movement when you stand on it

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

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

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Cranworth questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you come to Cranworth?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Cranworth. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t 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 will come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cranworth. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
