Shower tray repair in Grain

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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

How we handle shower tray repair in Grain

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. Whether it’s chipped corners or rims and a tray that flexes, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Grain questions

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you cover Grain?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Grain from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

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

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

What we work on

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

What we are called out for in Grain

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price covers travel
