How we handle shower tray repair in Chorlton-by-Backford
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. If you’re dealing with chipped corners or rims and movement when you stand on it, we can help, on ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel alike.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chorlton-by-Backford as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 typically the cheaper route.
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.
