About our shower tray repair in Langworthy

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We’re often asked to fix a damaged area around the waste and scratches from cleaning or grit, across ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater Manchester and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Langworthy as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Langworthy questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Langworthy?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

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

Acrylic

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

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What affects the price in Langworthy

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Do you need shower tray repair in Langworthy?

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that flexes

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace in Langworthy?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
