Questions from Grove
When can I use the shower again?
Normally the day after. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How we handle shower tray repair in Grove
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Whether it’s scuffs and light scratches and cracks running from the waste, we can usually put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Trays cracked in several places
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Grove
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Advice

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use the extractor fan
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Check the seal every few months
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Landlord and trade work in Grove
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
