Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place.

Common problems we fix in Cropredy

Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A crack across the base
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chipped corners or rims

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  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. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cropredy

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why Cropredy clients choose us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Materials we work on in Cropredy

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

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Cropredy: your questions answered

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Cropredy?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Northamptonshire.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
