Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Shower tray repair in Backburn, done in place
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s chips caused during fitting and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can usually put it right, on enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Backburn and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Should you replace it?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
What we are called out for in Backburn
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, usually along the edges or by the waste.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage from a refit or building work
Before booking anyone
- How long it needs to cure

- What aftercare is recommended
- What protection goes down before work starts
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Backburn, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
FAQs for Backburn
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
