Common problems we fix in Denton

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

Look out for these signs:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips on the edges
  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

How we handle shower tray repair in Denton

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Typical jobs include damage around the waste and snagging damage in a new bathroom, on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Denton. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
