About our shower tray repair in Croxton

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. We work on stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are movement when you stand on it and a cracked shower tray.

In a village like Croxton, showers are often later additions to older homes, and we always check the tray’s support first.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Croxton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

When to call us in Croxton

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Damage from a refit or building work

If you let a flat or house near St Neots station (about 3.2 miles west), we repair shower trays between tenancies so it’s ready to let again quickly.

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Questions from Croxton

Do you cover villages like Croxton?

Yes, villages and hamlets are part of our area.

Do you work for landlords with property near St Neots station?

Yes. Send photos and the address, and we will quote, and we can arrange access with the tenant if that helps.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

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 it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Croxton

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. The room is left tidy. Somewhere like Croxton needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. Everything for the shower tray repair comes with us in one trip.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes cost nothing and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
