Shower tray repair at your home in Holcombe

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We work on cast iron, acrylic and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are movement when you stand on it and chips on the edges.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Holcombe and across Bury.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Store bottles off the tray

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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 entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Holcombe

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Do you cover Holcombe?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Holcombe from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What affects the price in Holcombe

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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