About our shower tray repair in Badsworth
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. Our technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are cracks running from the waste and scratches in the surface.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Common questions in Badsworth
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Badsworth?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Get a moving tray checked
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Do you need shower tray repair in Badsworth?
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
What your quote should include
- How to care for the finish
- Who will actually do the work
- When it can be used again
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Badsworth. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What else we do in Badsworth
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
