For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crow End use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

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 to keep costs down.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Crow End, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Crow End

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Crow End included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How long before I can shower?

Typically the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

When to call us in Crow End

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

Look out for these signs:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chips on the edges
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A crack across the base

Before booking anyone

  • How to look after the finish
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
