Trusted shower tray repair in Mickley Square

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mickley Square

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
