Shower tray repair in Timbercliffe

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers

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

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

About our shower tray repair in Timbercliffe

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Whether it’s chips or cracks by the plughole and scratches in the surface, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

When to call us in Timbercliffe

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that flexes

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Timbercliffe

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Do you cover the entire of Rochdale?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Timbercliffe?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Timbercliffe

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Timbercliffe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Timbercliffe

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
