Prices and what affects them

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, 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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the area is dry

Your questions about shower tray repair in Great Budworth

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your CW9 postcode.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Ceramic

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Great Budworth

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips on the edges
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Honest limits

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

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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