Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Do you need shower tray repair in Whalley Range?

Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

We also work for schools, leisure centres and businesses, so if you care for a building such as St Margaret's CofE Primary School, changing-room showers can be repaired in place too.

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Whalley Range. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

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

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. In an older home in a village like Whalley Range, replacing a shower tray can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.

Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Colour-matched on site

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy. For a rural address like Whalley Range, we plan the journey in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. We bring everything needed for the shower tray repair, so there’s no second trip.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Whalley Range questions

Do you take on commercial work in Whalley Range?

Do you work for landlords with property near Deansgate station?

Yes. We fix shower trays between tenancies for landlords and letting agents, and we can quote for several properties together.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you cover Whalley Range?

We do. We send a technician to Whalley Range for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

Materials we work on in Whalley Range

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
