Shower tray repair for Crocketford homes

Shower tray repair in Crocketford without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. If you’re dealing with a damaged area around the waste and a crack across the base, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Get a moving tray checked

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Crocketford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Common problems we fix in Crocketford

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Crocketford

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Common questions in Crocketford

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

How much does shower tray repair cost in Crocketford?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your DG2 postcode.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Are you accredited?

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

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. 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 the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

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. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
