Trusted shower tray repair in Broughton

Shower tray repair in Broughton, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Typical jobs include a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a cracked shower tray, across stone resin, cast iron and acrylic.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most clients in Broughton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When to call us in Broughton

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How your room will be protected
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

FAQs for Broughton

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

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

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

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your ML12 postcode.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Advice

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Broughton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
