Shower tray repair at your home in Ainsdale
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We regularly repair stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from a refit or building work and chips or cracks by the plughole.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
What we are called out for in Ainsdale
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A crack across the base

- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How the room is protected while they work
Should you replace it?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What affects the price in Ainsdale
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Ainsdale
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you cover Ainsdale?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Ainsdale from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
