Shower tray repair for Cropston homes

Cropston: your questions answered

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Shower tray repair in Cropston, done in place

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. Typical jobs include a damaged area around the waste and edge chips from dropped bottles, across stone resin, cast iron and acrylic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron

Do you need shower tray repair in Cropston?

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A damaged area around the waste

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cropston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Cropston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
