Shower tray repair near Cheddleton Heath

Shower tray repair at your home in Cheddleton Heath

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 repair lasts. Common call-outs are for a cracked shower tray and edge chips from dropped bottles, in acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Staffordshire.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Cheddleton Heath

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A crack across the base

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Get a moving tray checked

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Common questions in Cheddleton Heath

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

How long does it take to cure?

Usually the next day. We will confirm before we leave.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

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