Shower tray repair for Manton homes

Shower tray repair in Manton, done in place

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the edges and a dull, stained or worn surface, on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When to call us in Manton

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Cracks running from the waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How your room will be protected
  • How changes to the job are handled

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

FAQs for Manton

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

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

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your SN8 postcode.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you cover the entire of Wiltshire?

All of Wiltshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace in Manton?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Take a look at our prices page.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

What we work on

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

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

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

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
