Shower tray repair in Eccles

How we handle shower tray repair in Eccles

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Typical jobs include a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chipped corners or rims, across acrylic, stone resin and ceramic.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. The room is left 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Eccles?

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that flexes
  • A cracked shower tray

Questions from Eccles

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

When can I use the shower again?

Normally the next day. We will confirm before we leave.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Eccles?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your TD5 postcode.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

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

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

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

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
