Shower tray repair in Broughton without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We are frequently asked to fix staining and dullness across the tray and movement when you stand on it, on enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What we’re called out for in Broughton
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips on the edges
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that flexes
- A crack across the base
Comparing quotes
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who will actually do the work
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
