Shower tray repair in Smithy Green, done in place

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Whether it’s staining and dullness across the tray and scratches in the surface, we can help.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cheshire East and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

What affects the price in Smithy Green

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Repair or replace in Smithy Green?

Replacing a tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

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

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

10 questions to ask before you book

Your questions about shower tray repair in Smithy Green

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

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

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
