How we handle shower tray repair in Hazelhurst

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on acrylic, stone resin and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a damaged area around the waste.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hazelhurst and across Tameside.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Hazelhurst

Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Hazelhurst

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your OL6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
