Your questions about shower tray repair in Great Musgrave
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Great Musgrave.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

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. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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’ll get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Everything repaired in place
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Common problems we fix in Great Musgrave
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Chips on the edges
- A cracked shower tray
- Scuffs and light scratches
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- How the colour is matched
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Check the seal every few months
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
What affects the price in Great Musgrave
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
