How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Common problems we fix in Moston

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Common questions in Moston

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Moston. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
