Shower tray repair in South Reddish

How we handle shower tray repair in South Reddish

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Typical jobs include a crack across the base and scuffs and light scratches, in ceramic, acrylic and cast iron.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

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.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

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

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

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.

When to call us in South Reddish

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that flexes
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

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

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Common questions in South Reddish

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Greater Manchester. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

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

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What we do, step by step

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, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  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

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
