Shower tray repair for Crossways homes

About our shower tray repair in Crossways

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. If you’re dealing with scuffs and light scratches and cracks running from the waste, we can help, on ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Crossways. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

FAQs for Crossways

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What we are called out for in Crossways

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chips on the edges

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • If travel is included in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlords, agents and businesses in Crossways

If you manage property in Crossways, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
