Shower tray repair in Downholland Cross, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. We regularly repair stone resin, acrylic and cast iron, and people most often call us about snagging damage in a new bathroom and staining and dullness across the tray.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Downholland Cross as everywhere else we work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

When to call us in Downholland Cross

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • If travel is included in the price

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself 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 look after it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Questions from Downholland Cross

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Downholland Cross?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Downholland Cross included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

See our pricing.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
