Trusted shower tray repair in Far Cotton

Landlord and trade work in Far Cotton

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.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Shower tray repair in Far Cotton without replacing anything

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. We regularly repair enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are scratches in the surface and chipped corners or rims.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
