When to call us in Gretton
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scratches in the surface
- Cracks running from the waste
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
Before booking anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Gretton
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Gretton.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
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 photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
