How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Shower tray repair in Grindle, done in place

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair cast iron, acrylic and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and damage around the waste.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we’re called out for in Grindle

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips on the edges
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

What affects the price in Grindle

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Grindle. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you’re in Grindle and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How do I book?

When can I use the shower again?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, generally the next day.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
