Shower tray repair near Salesbrook

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Shower tray repair in Salesbrook, done in place

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We work on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are scratches in the surface and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Common problems we fix in Salesbrook

Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A crack across the base

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Common questions in Salesbrook

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can landlords book you?

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

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our full price list.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
