Common questions in Greenlooms

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

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.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Greenlooms?

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you come to Greenlooms?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Greenlooms and the rest of Cheshire West and Chester. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Greenlooms

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  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

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Greenlooms, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
