Shower tray repair in Harper Green without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. Typical jobs include damage around the waste and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, across ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Harper Green. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Harper Green: your questions answered

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you make an old tray look new?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What areas do you cover?

All of Bolton, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
