Shower tray repair in Blackley

Shower tray repair in Blackley without replacing anything

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. If you are dealing with scuffs and light scratches and chipped corners or rims, we can generally put it right.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

FAQs for Blackley

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Blackley?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Blackley

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

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. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your HX5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.
