Shower tray repair for West Timperley homes

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

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

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Signs you need shower tray repair in West Timperley

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Common reasons people in West Timperley contact us are:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips on the edges
  • A cracked shower tray

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How your room will be protected
  • What prep work is covered
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

Materials we work on in West Timperley

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

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Questions from West Timperley

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

How long does it take to cure?

Typically the next day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Do you come to West Timperley?

We do. Technicians travel to West Timperley from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
