Shower tray repair in Bamfurlong, done in place
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. We regularly repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from a refit or building work and chips or cracks by the plughole.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron

The entire UK, including all of Wigan. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What affects the price in Bamfurlong
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
If you are in Bamfurlong and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
