Shower tray repair in Broadheath without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. We work on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about scratches from cleaning or grit and damage from a refit or building work.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Broadheath, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Trafford and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Broadheath
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Damage around the waste
- A crack across the base
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether a trained technician does the job

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Check the seal every few months
- Get a moving tray checked
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

When we’d advise against a repair

- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- 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.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Broadheath questions
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Broadheath?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do I need to be at home?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
