Shower tray repair at your home in Broughton
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. If you are dealing with scuffs and light scratches and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can help, on enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Do you need shower tray repair in Broughton?
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A crack across the base
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scuffs and light scratches

Repairing versus replacing in Broughton
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Trays cracked in several places
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Check the seal every few months
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price

Advice
FAQs for Broughton
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is a repair better than a new one?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
