Your questions about shower tray repair in Grainthorpe

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you come to Grainthorpe?

We do. We send a technician to Grainthorpe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

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.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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 fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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 few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place
  • No extra charge for your area

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Grainthorpe

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

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Check the seal every few months

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
