Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

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

When to call us in Moorside

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

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Moorside use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why Moorside clients choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area

  • No need to remove anything

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  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. Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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

Materials we work on in Moorside

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

What affects the price in Moorside

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Moorside. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Moorside, and we will reply with a fixed price.
