Shower tray repair in Greenhill, done in place

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We’re frequently asked to fix a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips on the edges, across acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Greenhill: your questions answered

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

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

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Do you come to Greenhill?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Greenhill. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you’re in Greenhill and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
