Shower tray repair at your home in Handforth

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We’re frequently asked to fix a dull, stained or worn surface and a crack across the base, on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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

Questions from Handforth

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Handforth. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

If you are in Handforth and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cheshire East and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

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.
