How we handle shower tray repair in Broughton
We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. If you’re dealing with edge chips from dropped bottles and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can normally put it right, on ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

- Acrylic

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
Your questions about shower tray repair in Broughton
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Are there extra charges for Broughton?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you work in Broughton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Broughton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What else we do in Broughton
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Broughton
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Broughton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Broughton
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A tray that flexes
- A damaged area around the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
