How we handle shower tray repair in Moor End

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Our technicians work on ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips on the edges.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Moor End

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

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.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DH1 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Moor End. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A fixed quote before you book

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Common problems we fix in Moor End

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A crack across the base
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Movement when you stand on it

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

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

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
