How we handle shower tray repair in Droylsden

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. We are frequently asked to fix movement when you stand on it and damage around the waste, in enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

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

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most customers in Droylsden get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Droylsden

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Your questions about shower tray repair in Droylsden

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Will it make a mess?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What areas do you cover?

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

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
