Shower tray repair across Salford: what to expect

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We’re frequently asked to fix staining and dullness across the tray and scratches from cleaning or grit, across cast iron, ceramic and acrylic.

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  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 whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Salford. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Landlord and trade work in Salford

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

FAQs for Salford

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do you cover Salford?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Salford. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
