Shower tray repair at your home in Alt
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. We regularly repair enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin, and people most often call us about a damaged area around the waste and chipped corners or rims.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlord and trade work in Alt
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Oldham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Alt, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on

Alt: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Alt. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What we are called out for in Alt
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Chipped corners or rims
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chips caused during fitting
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Should you replace it?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Everything repaired in place
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
