Shower tray repair near Grassmoor

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places

Shower tray repair in Grassmoor without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. We work on ceramic, stone resin and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks running from the waste and a dull, stained or worn surface.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Grassmoor. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Grassmoor

Are you accredited?

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

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your S42 postcode.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

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

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Grassmoor

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Comparing quotes

  • When it can be used again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

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

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
