Repair or replace in Abbey Hulton?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Abbey Hulton. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Check the seal every few months
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Stoke-on-Trent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
