Shower tray repair for Croxteth homes

About our shower tray repair in Croxteth

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic, and people most often call us about scuffs and light scratches and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

Croxteth questions

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

Are there extra charges for Croxteth?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you come to Croxteth?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Croxteth and the rest of Liverpool. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Common problems we fix in Croxteth

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Damage around the waste
  • Chips on the edges
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

What to look for in a quote

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Croxteth

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Croxteth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Croxteth customers choose us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One price list for the entire UK

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
