Repair or replace in Bolton?

How we handle shower tray repair in Bolton
A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. We work on enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the edges and a dull, stained or worn surface.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Bolton: your questions answered
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
How long does it take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, typically the following day.
Do you cover Bolton?
We do. We send a technician to Bolton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
