Common questions in Greenbank
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you come to Greenbank?
We do. We send a technician to Greenbank for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Are there extra charges for Greenbank?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Greenbank. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
When to call us in Greenbank
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
Common reasons people in Greenbank contact us are:
- A cracked shower tray
- Chipped corners or rims
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Staining and dullness across the tray
Before booking anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to look after the finish
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
