About our shower tray repair in West Gorton

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We are often asked to fix chips caused during fitting and a cracked shower tray, across stone resin, acrylic and cast iron.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What affects the price in West Gorton

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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 happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

FAQs for West Gorton

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

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

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Do you cover West Gorton?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to West Gorton and the rest of Greater Manchester. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

Is there any odour?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
