Shower tray repair in Tintwistle, done in place

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include chips on the edges and a dull, stained or worn surface, in enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we’re called out for in Tintwistle

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Before booking anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • When it can be used again
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Your questions about shower tray repair in Tintwistle

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Are you accredited?

Are there extra charges for Tintwistle?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How soon can you come?

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

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

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

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole 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. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Landlord and trade work in Tintwistle

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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 a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Tintwistle

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
