Repairing versus replacing in Withington

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Signs you need shower tray repair in Withington

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that flexes
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Staffordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

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

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Withington questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Withington?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
