Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

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

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Midgley. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

For a price in Midgley, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What a repair can’t fix

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

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Landlord and trade work in Midgley

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common questions in Midgley

How long before I can shower?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Are there extra charges for Midgley?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

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.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
