Shower tray repair in Brandlesholme

Shower tray repair in Brandlesholme without replacing anything

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We are often asked to fix a crack across the base and scuffs and light scratches, in ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Bury and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Your questions about shower tray repair in Brandlesholme

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you come to Brandlesholme?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Brandlesholme from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Brandlesholme included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Check the seal every few months

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

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What we’re called out for in Brandlesholme

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips on the edges
  • Movement when you stand on it

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if they find more damage
