Shower tray repair in Broad Oak without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Whether it’s damage from a refit or building work and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can typically put it right, on acrylic, stone resin and cast iron alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

FAQs for Broad Oak
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Broad Oak and the rest of St Helens. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
When can I use the shower again?
Usually the day after. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Landlord and trade work in Broad Oak
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Common problems we fix in Broad Oak
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Look out for these signs:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scratches in the surface
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that flexes

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
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.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
