Trusted shower tray repair in Croxton

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we handle shower tray repair in Croxton

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We regularly repair acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage in a new bathroom and staining and dullness across the tray.

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

What we cannot put right

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

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Repairing versus replacing in Croxton

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Croxton questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you cover the entire of Staffordshire?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

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

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

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

What affects the price in Croxton

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Common problems we fix in Croxton

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Damage around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
