Trusted shower tray repair in Cheadle

Shower tray repair in Cheadle, done in place

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. If you are dealing with edge chips from dropped bottles and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cheadle as everywhere else we work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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. It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Cheadle

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, usually along the edges or by the waste.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before booking

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
