Shower tray repair for Greasby homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How we handle shower tray repair in Greasby

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. We regularly repair stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about movement when you stand on it and a dull, stained or worn surface.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work 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. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Greasby

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Greasby included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Repair or replace in Greasby?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

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

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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 to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
