Shower tray repair at your home in Mottram in Longdendale

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are chips or cracks by the plughole and scratches from cleaning or grit.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What we’re called out for in Mottram in Longdendale

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that flexes

Mottram in Longdendale questions

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
