Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Calrofold use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What affects the price in Calrofold

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, 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. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: 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 price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Questions from Calrofold

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cheshire East.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Calrofold?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

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. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
