How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Shower tray repair in Buxworth, done in place

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you’re dealing with scratches in the surface and chipped corners or rims, we can generally put it right.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Do you need shower tray repair in Buxworth?

Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips on the edges
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that flexes

Before booking anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before you book

Your questions about shower tray repair in Buxworth

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Buxworth is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why Buxworth customers choose us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
