How we handle shower tray repair in Croughton

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s a tray that flexes and a crack across the base, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northamptonshire.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NN13 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Croughton

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that flexes
  • Damage around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers

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

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Common questions in Croughton

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NN13 postcode.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
