Shower tray repair for Belle Vue homes

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Belle Vue. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we handle shower tray repair in Belle Vue

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We work on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are damage around the waste and movement when you stand on it.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater Manchester.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What we’re called out for in Belle Vue

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips on the edges
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A crack across the base

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

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

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater Manchester and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Belle Vue

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Is it messy?

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

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do you cover Belle Vue?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Belle Vue for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price
