Shower tray repair for Crosby homes

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Shower tray repair in Crosby 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 explain what we find. We regularly repair cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Crosby and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Crosby

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

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Signs you need shower tray repair in Crosby

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Comparing quotes

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
