Shower tray repair in Tye Green, done in place

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. We work on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic, and people most often call us about a cracked shower tray and movement when you stand on it.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page.

What affects the price in Tye Green

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

For a price in Tye Green, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

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

Materials we work on in Tye Green

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When to call us in Tye Green

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Before booking anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price
  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.
