Trusted shower tray repair in Ashton-under-Lyne

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What affects the price in Ashton-under-Lyne

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Ventilate the room after showers

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

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Ashton-under-Lyne?

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Questions from Ashton-under-Lyne

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

Do you cover the entire of Tameside?

We work UK-wide, so Ashton-under-Lyne is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Is there a guarantee?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Repairing versus replacing in Ashton-under-Lyne

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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.

Landlord and trade work in Ashton-under-Lyne

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashton-under-Lyne use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
