Questions from Stowford

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Do you come to Stowford?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Stowford. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

When to call us in Stowford

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

Materials we work on in Stowford

  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel

Repairing versus replacing in Stowford

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months

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

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

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