Trusted shower tray repair in Crown

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

About our shower tray repair in Crown

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Our technicians work on stone resin, cast iron and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are chipped corners or rims and a dull, stained or worn surface.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Crown and across Highland.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What affects the price in Crown

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your IV2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Crown

If you manage property in Crown, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Get a moving tray checked

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Crown

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips caused during fitting

Questions from Crown

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you come to Crown?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Crown for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Are you accredited?

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
