Shower tray repair near Cross

Shower tray repair in Cross without replacing anything

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. Whether it’s chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can normally put it right, on ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Common questions in Cross

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you come to Cross?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Cross and the rest of Shropshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Cross is covered. Prices do not change with location.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repairing versus replacing in Cross

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colour-matched on site

Take a look at our prices page.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
