Shower Tray Repair for Alvanley homes
Problem with your shower tray in Alvanley? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A tray that flexes
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Shower tray repair in Alvanley, done in place
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Typical jobs include a tray that flexes and damage from a refit or building work, on cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaking waste fittings
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
FAQs for Alvanley
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
When can I use the shower again?
Typically the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Landlord and trade work in Alvanley
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
