Shower tray repair near Crompton

Shower tray repair at your home in Crompton

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Whether it’s a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can help.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why Crompton clients choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Crompton

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

For landlords and businesses

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

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Crompton

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Do you come to Crompton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Crompton and the rest of Oldham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long does it take to cure?

Generally the next day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What affects the price in Crompton

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Crompton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Crompton, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Crompton

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A crack across the base
  • Chipped corners or rims

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
