Shower tray repair near Crowell

Shower tray repair at your home in Crowell

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and people most often call us about damage from a refit or building work and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Read our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Crowell

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Oxfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Crowell

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A crack across the base
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Before you book anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before booking

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Your questions about shower tray repair in Crowell

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
