About our shower tray repair in Budworth Heath

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We’re often asked to fix damage around the waste and chips on the edges, on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Budworth Heath as everywhere else we work.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Budworth Heath

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Budworth Heath, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

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

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Budworth Heath. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Budworth Heath clients choose us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

See our prices page.

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  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 if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
