Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

FAQs for Robin Hood

How long does it take to cure?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Robin Hood?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your photos

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs
