How we handle shower tray repair in Crewe

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We work on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about scuffs and light scratches and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Common problems we fix in Crewe

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Damage around the waste
  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Repair or replace in Crewe?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Crewe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Everything repaired in place

Common questions in Crewe

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Crewe?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is there a guarantee?

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