Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Manley Common, Cheshire West and Chester

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Shower tray repair at your home in Manley Common
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chips on the edges and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Questions from Manley Common
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Manley Common?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
