About our shower tray repair in Crow's Green

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you are dealing with a cracked shower tray and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Crow's Green questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

When can I use the shower again?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Common problems we fix in Crow's Green

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A crack across the base

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before booking

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
