Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Questions from Cross Green

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can landlords book you?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Do you need shower tray repair in Cross Green?

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scratches in the surface

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How to care for the finish

Our hiring checklist

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
