About our shower tray repair in Blackley

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, acrylic and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that flexes and damage around the waste.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

FAQs for Blackley

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you come to Blackley?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Blackley and the rest of Greater Manchester. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you make an old tray look new?

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

How long before I can shower?

Typically the next day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
