Shower tray repair near Clayton

Shower tray repair at your home in Clayton

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair ceramic, stone resin and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a tray that flexes and a dull, stained or worn surface.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Clayton: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Clayton?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

When can I use the shower again?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Clayton

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we’re called out for in Clayton

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, usually along the edges or by the waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A crack across the base
  • Scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • How to care for the finish
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
