Book shower tray repair in Cross Hill

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

How we handle shower tray repair in Cross Hill

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are damage around the waste and scratches in the surface.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Cross Hill

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Cross Hill

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Look out for these signs:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Scratches in the surface

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repair or replace in Cross Hill?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • No extra charge for your area

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Cross Hill: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you cover Cross Hill?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Cross Hill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Derbyshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
