Shower tray repair in Ardwick without replacing anything
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Store bottles off the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Questions from Ardwick
Do you cover Ardwick?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ardwick. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Ardwick is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in Ardwick, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
