When to call us in Grovesend

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A crack across the base
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What affects the price in Grovesend

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs 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 pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan

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

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
