How we handle shower tray repair in Denshaw

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. Common call-outs are for staining and dullness across the tray and movement when you stand on it, across stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic.

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.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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 strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Ceramic

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

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most customers in Denshaw get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Your questions about shower tray repair in Denshaw

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you come to Denshaw?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Denshaw for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Denshaw and the rest of Oldham. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
