Aftercare tips

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

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Shower tray repair at your home in Crossgill

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. If you are dealing with a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a cracked shower tray, we can help, on cast iron, ceramic and acrylic alike.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Questions from Crossgill

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your LA2 postcode.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Are there extra charges for Crossgill?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Crossgill.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Common problems we fix in Crossgill

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

People typically call us when they notice something like this:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A damaged area around the waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

What affects the price in Crossgill

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in Crossgill get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
