How we handle shower tray repair in Ramsbottom

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. If you are dealing with damage around the waste and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can typically put it right, on ceramic, stone resin and acrylic alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Ramsbottom

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Damage around the waste
  • Cracks running from the waste

Before you book anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

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

Acrylic

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything

Take a look at our prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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

What happens on the day

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 clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Common questions in Ramsbottom

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Ramsbottom.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do I have to be there?

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you cover Ramsbottom?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ramsbottom and the rest of Bury. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I fix it myself?

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
