Trusted shower tray repair in Bottom o' the Moor

Shower tray repair in Bottom o' the Moor, done in place

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We work on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are a damaged area around the waste and a crack across the base.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Bottom o' the Moor

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

For anyone letting property in or around Bottom o' the Moor, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

When to call us in Bottom o' the Moor

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before booking

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Bottom o' the Moor. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

We don’t 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.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BL2 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
