Shower tray repair near Crosshill

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. If you are dealing with scuffs and light scratches and a cracked shower tray, we can help, on stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Crosshill: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Crosshill?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Will there be a smell?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

What affects the price in Crosshill

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Crosshill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Crosshill, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in Crosshill

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Damage around the waste

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How to look after the finish
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Crosshill

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

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
