Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Bardsley, Oldham
Shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing in Bardsley, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the edges
- Scratches in the surface
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Shower tray repair at your home in Bardsley
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, acrylic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are movement when you stand on it and chips caused during fitting.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Do you need shower tray repair in Bardsley?
Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A crack across the base
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
Before you book anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What preparation is included
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Questions from Bardsley
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Are there extra charges for Bardsley?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
