Common problems we fix in Crowell Hill

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Before booking anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

What a repair cannot fix

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

FAQs for Crowell Hill

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Are you accredited?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Should I try a DIY kit 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Related advice

Repair or replace in Crowell Hill?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
