Shower tray repair in Horton Green, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for chips caused during fitting and a crack across the base, on stone resin, cast iron and acrylic.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cheshire West and Chester.

How the visit works

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

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Common problems we fix in Horton Green

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • How to look after the finish
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Horton Green

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Horton Green. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Landlords, agents and businesses in Horton Green

For anyone letting property in or around Horton Green, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Ceramic

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

Questions from Horton Green

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Do you come to Horton Green?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Horton Green. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
