How we handle shower tray repair in Atherton
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for chips caused during fitting and chipped corners or rims, in acrylic, ceramic and stone resin.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Atherton
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- Damage around the waste
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
Before you book anyone
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
For a price in Atherton, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Atherton questions
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Typically, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you work in Atherton?
We do. We send a technician to Atherton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
