Shower tray repair in Manuden

Repairs by material

Ceramic

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

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Shower tray repair at your home in Manuden

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 so the repair blends in. If you are dealing with scuffs and light scratches and a damaged area around the waste, we can help, on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace in Manuden?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Manuden. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We leave the room as we found it

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Manuden. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you’re in Manuden and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Manuden use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CM23 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Manuden

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Get a moving tray checked

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
