Repair or replace in Cross End?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we’re called out for in Cross End

Common reasons people in Cross End contact us are:
- A tray that flexes
- Damage around the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Damage from a refit or building work

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Common questions in Cross End
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 the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

What affects the price in Cross End
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
