Shower tray repair in Doffcocker

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Shower tray repair at your home in Doffcocker

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Typical jobs include a cracked shower tray and a damaged area around the waste, in enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron.

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.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Doffcocker questions

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

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

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Do you come to Doffcocker?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Doffcocker and the rest of Bolton. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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

  • A crack across the base
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Doffcocker clients choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

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.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Doffcocker

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
