Shower tray repair near Moss Side

Shower tray repair at your home in Moss Side

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for damage around the waste and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, across stone resin, ceramic and acrylic.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

For landlords and businesses

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

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Can I fix it myself?

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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we are called out for in Moss Side

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that flexes
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How to look after the finish
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

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

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit
