Shower tray repair in Hindley

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hindley use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Shower tray repair in Hindley, done in place

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We work on stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners or rims and scuffs and light scratches.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we are called out for in Hindley

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scratches in the surface

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Hindley

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
