Shower tray repair near Cruckmeole

Shower tray repair in Cruckmeole without replacing anything

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our technicians work on stone resin, cast iron and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks running from the waste and a dull, stained or worn surface.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Cruckmeole, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Cruckmeole: your questions answered

Is it messy?

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

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Cruckmeole. Prices do not change with location.

When can you do it?

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

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your SY5 postcode.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Repair or replace in Cruckmeole?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
