Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Shower tray repair in Crosby Garrett, done in place

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. Typical jobs include a damaged area around the waste and scratches in the surface, across cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Crosby Garrett

For anyone letting property in or around Crosby Garrett, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Crosby Garrett. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Crosby Garrett, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Crosby Garrett

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that flexes
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A crack across the base

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before booking

Crosby Garrett questions

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How long before I can shower?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

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