Need shower tray repair in Fallowfield?

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

About our shower tray repair in Fallowfield

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. Typical jobs include scratches in the surface and a tray that flexes, on ceramic, stone resin and cast iron.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

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.

Common problems we fix in Fallowfield

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings

FAQs for Fallowfield

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your M14 postcode.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fallowfield

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Should you replace it?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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.
