Shower tray repair for Pott Shrigley homes

Shower tray repair at your home in Pott Shrigley

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, acrylic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips caused during fitting.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

FAQs for Pott Shrigley

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, generally the next day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What information do you need?

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

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Do you cover the entire of Cheshire East?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Pott Shrigley. Prices don’t change with location.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Pott Shrigley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area

Common problems we fix in Pott Shrigley

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that flexes

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work
