Trusted shower tray repair in Broadbottom

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Shower tray repair at your home in Broadbottom

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage in a new bathroom and a cracked shower tray.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Broadbottom questions

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Tameside. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

How long does it take to cure?

Usually the day after. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Are there extra charges for Broadbottom?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Broadbottom

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that flexes

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Check the seal every few months

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Repair or replace in Broadbottom?

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. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
