How we handle shower tray repair in Ashton upon Mersey
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and edge chips from dropped bottles.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

FAQs for Ashton upon Mersey
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Ashton upon Mersey?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I get a quote without a visit?

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ashton upon Mersey
For anyone letting property in or around Ashton upon Mersey, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Check the seal every few months
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
