How we handle shower tray repair in Scholes

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair ceramic, acrylic and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are staining and dullness across the tray and a damaged area around the waste.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Your questions about shower tray repair in Scholes

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Scholes?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your WN1 postcode.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Do you cover Scholes?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Scholes. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Wigan. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Scholes

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Store bottles off the tray

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Repair or replace in Scholes?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Prices and what affects them

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

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

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Scholes?

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Comparing quotes

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How to look after the finish
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
