Shower Tray Repair in Oldham

How shower tray repair works in Oldham

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We regularly repair cast iron, acrylic and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about edge chips from dropped bottles and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
5. Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.

What you’ll pay

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

• Avoid strong descalers and bleach
• Replace failing sealant promptly
• Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
• Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
