Shower tray repair in Crossbush

Shower tray repair in Crossbush without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and cracks running from the waste.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What we’re called out for in Crossbush

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Damage around the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips on the edges

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before you book

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Landlord and trade work in Crossbush

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crossbush use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

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 can be filled and matched.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Crossbush

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
