Shower tray repair near Mill Brow

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Shower tray repair in Mill Brow without replacing anything

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. We regularly repair ceramic, stone resin and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are chips caused during fitting and edge chips from dropped bottles.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When to call us in Mill Brow

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A damaged area around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

Mill Brow: your questions answered

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Stockport.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Landlord and trade work in Mill Brow

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

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Check the seal every few months

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take 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. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we work on in Mill Brow

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
