Shower tray repair in Swinton without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. If you’re dealing with snagging damage in a new bathroom and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Swinton

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Swinton included. Travel is included in the price.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

How do I book?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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.

Common problems we fix in Swinton

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that flexes

Before booking anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Should you replace it?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Landlord and trade work in Swinton

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
