Book shower tray repair in Croughton

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Shower tray repair in Croughton, done in place

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Whether it’s a tray that flexes and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can usually put it right, on acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Croughton as everywhere else we work.

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Croughton, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in Croughton

Do you work in Croughton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Croughton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Croughton included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

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 price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Landlord and trade work in Croughton

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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.

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.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
