Shower tray repair in Croston without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. If you are dealing with a crack across the base and a tray that flexes, we can help.

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

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Questions from Croston

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

How do I book?

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

How long before I can shower?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

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

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

When to call us in Croston

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Before booking anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What affects the price in Croston

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

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
