How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Should you replace it?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Advice

Common questions in Ashton-in-Makerfield

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Ashton-in-Makerfield?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Ashton-in-Makerfield. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Do you need shower tray repair in Ashton-in-Makerfield?

Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that flexes
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A damaged area around the waste

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How to care for the finish
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
