Shower tray repair in Summit 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. Typical jobs include damage from a refit or building work and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, in stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort 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 job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

When to call us in Summit

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scuffs and light scratches

10 questions to ask before booking

Why repair rather than replace?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No extra charge for your area

Read our full price list.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Summit: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Oldham.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Summit and the rest of Oldham. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Landlord and trade work in Summit

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

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Summit. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Summit, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

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