Shower tray repair in Withington

Shower tray repair in Withington, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are damage around the waste and staining and dullness across the tray.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Withington

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Withington use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For anyone letting property in or around Withington, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

FAQs for Withington

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

How much does shower tray repair cost in Withington?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your GL54 postcode.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We leave the room clean.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

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

What we’re called out for in Withington

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips on the edges
  • Damage around the waste

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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