Trusted shower tray repair in Chinley

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How we handle shower tray repair in Chinley

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. Typical jobs include snagging damage in a new bathroom and a cracked shower tray, across ceramic, stone resin and cast iron.

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

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Chinley. 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 price

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Chinley

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Damage around the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scratches in the surface

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Honest limits

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

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Chinley questions

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Are there extra charges for Chinley?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price
