Shower tray repair for Little Leigh homes

Shower tray repair in Little Leigh without replacing anything

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. We work on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and people most often call us about snagging damage in a new bathroom and chips on the edges.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When to call us in Little Leigh

Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that flexes
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What prep work is covered
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before booking

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Read our prices page.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What affects the price in Little Leigh

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Common questions in Little Leigh

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cheshire West and Chester.

  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive
