Shower tray repair for Green Bank homes

How we handle shower tray repair in Green Bank

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. If you’re dealing with a dull, stained or worn surface and damage around the waste, we can help, on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Green Bank as everywhere else we work.

What we’re called out for in Green Bank

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Choosing a repair company

Green Bank: your questions answered

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Typically, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Green Bank

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Green Bank. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we do, step by step

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 a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

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

Advice

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
