Need shower tray repair in Crowlas?

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Crowlas. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you are in Crowlas and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Shower tray repair in Crowlas, done in place

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, cast iron and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners or rims and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Crowlas: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Honest limits

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

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Crowlas

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Landlord and trade work in Crowlas

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

If you manage property in Crowlas, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
