Shower tray repair in Westhoughton without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about scratches in the surface and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

FAQs for Westhoughton

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

When can I use the shower again?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Westhoughton

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What preparation is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What affects the price in Westhoughton

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Westhoughton. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
