Signs you need shower tray repair in Cornforth
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Edge chips from dropped bottles

How we handle shower tray repair in Cornforth
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. We work on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a tray that flexes and snagging damage in a new bathroom.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cornforth
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cornforth as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What affects the price in Cornforth
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
