Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we work on in Tatton Dale

  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tatton Dale use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot 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.

Repair or replace in Tatton Dale?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

FAQs for Tatton Dale

Is there a call-out fee?

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

How long before I can shower?

Normally the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Common problems we fix in Tatton Dale

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scratches in the surface

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
