It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Cracks running from the waste

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Questions from Ordsall

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How long before I can shower?

Generally the day after. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Are there extra charges for Ordsall?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Ordsall

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
