Cross Houses: your questions answered
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Shower tray repair in Cross Houses, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Common call-outs are for chipped corners or rims and scratches in the surface, in enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Do you need shower tray repair in Cross Houses?
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Cracks running from the waste
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
Questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Cross Houses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cross Houses as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

What else we do in Cross Houses
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cross Houses. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repairing versus replacing in Cross Houses
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
