Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

How we handle shower tray repair in Little Harwood

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. We regularly repair enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips or cracks by the plughole.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Little Harwood: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Little Harwood included. Travel is included in the price.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel

Do you need shower tray repair in Little Harwood?

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A crack across the base
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips on the edges

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairing versus replacing in Little Harwood

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why Little Harwood customers choose us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Little Harwood, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Little Harwood use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
