Shower tray repair in Chorlton-cum-Hardy without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We’re frequently asked to fix chips or cracks by the plughole and a dull, stained or worn surface, on ceramic, stone resin and acrylic.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Landlord and trade work in Chorlton-cum-Hardy

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater Manchester and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Chorlton-cum-Hardy. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Chorlton-cum-Hardy, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we’re called out for in Chorlton-cum-Hardy

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips on the edges
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

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

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Use the extractor fan

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Repairing versus replacing in Chorlton-cum-Hardy

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we cannot put right
