Shower tray repair in Cheddleton

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Shower tray repair in Cheddleton without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair acrylic, ceramic and stone resin, and people most often call us about scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Cheddleton. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Cheddleton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Cheddleton

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • A crack across the base
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips caused during fitting

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Cheddleton

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you cover Cheddleton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cheddleton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
