Trusted shower tray repair in Stubb's Cross

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

Shower tray repair in Stubb's Cross, done in place

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We’re often asked to fix a dull, stained or worn surface and movement when you stand on it, in ceramic, stone resin and acrylic.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Questions from Stubb's Cross

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Stubb's Cross?

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

Repairing versus replacing in Stubb's Cross

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: 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.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TN26 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

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

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
