Shower tray repair in Poynton without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you are dealing with a damaged area around the waste and a cracked shower tray, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Poynton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

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

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Poynton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price
