Shower tray repair in Gigg, done in place

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s a damaged area around the waste and chips on the edges, we can help, on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Questions from Gigg

How much does shower tray repair cost in Gigg?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Do you come to Gigg?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Gigg. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Bury.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

What we work on

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Gigg?

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
