Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

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.

Shower tray repair in Smallwood Hey without replacing anything

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We are often asked to fix chips caused during fitting and edge chips from dropped bottles, across cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from Smallwood Hey

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Smallwood Hey?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Is it messy?

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

Do you cover Smallwood Hey?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Smallwood Hey for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down 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 the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One visit for most repairs

Common problems we fix in Smallwood Hey

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A crack across the base
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Our hiring checklist

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Smallwood Hey. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Smallwood Hey, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
