Shower tray repair in Moorside

Shower tray repair in Moorside without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. We regularly repair cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about chips on the edges and a cracked shower tray.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oldham.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Moorside

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Moorside as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Questions from Moorside

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
