Your questions about shower tray repair in Burnage

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

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.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Burnage?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Shower tray repair in Burnage without replacing anything

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that flexes, across acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

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

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most clients in Burnage 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.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Burnage

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that flexes

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
