Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Bootle. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Bootle
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?
The entire UK, including all of Cumbria. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
