Shower tray repair in Carrington without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron, and people most often call us about a crack across the base and chipped corners or rims.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Carrington and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic

Your questions about shower tray repair in Carrington

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your M31 postcode.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you work in Carrington?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Carrington and the rest of Trafford. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do you cover the entire of Trafford?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Carrington. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Common problems we fix in Carrington

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A damaged area around the waste

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

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

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

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.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
