How we handle shower tray repair in Charnock Richard

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Whether it’s a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips on the edges, we can generally put it right, on stone resin, cast iron and acrylic alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

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

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

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 reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Charnock Richard

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Ventilate the room after showers

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

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 shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Charnock Richard. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

When to call us in Charnock Richard

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish
  • What preparation is included
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before booking

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Charnock Richard clients choose us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our prices page.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Charnock Richard

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Are there extra charges for Charnock Richard?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

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

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
