Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we’re called out for in Grimsthorpe

Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

FAQs for Grimsthorpe

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you cover Grimsthorpe?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Grimsthorpe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

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 over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Related advice

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Grimsthorpe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No extra charge for your area
  • No need to remove anything
