Common problems we fix in Greencroft

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that flexes

10 questions to ask before booking

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 generally cheaper.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

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

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Greencroft as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Greencroft

When can I use the shower again?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you cover the entire of County Durham?

The entire UK, including all of County Durham. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Are you accredited?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
