Shower tray repair in Glasshouse

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Shower tray repair in Glasshouse, done in place

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic, and people most often call us about a crack across the base and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Store bottles off the tray

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

FAQs for Glasshouse

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One price list for the entire UK

Landlord and trade work in Glasshouse

If you manage property in Glasshouse, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
