Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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

FAQs for Crowton

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Crowton included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

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.

Is there any odour?

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

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Typically, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Landlord and trade work in Crowton

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

What we are called out for in Crowton

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

Look out for any of the following:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Damage around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Movement when you stand on it

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
