Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How we handle shower tray repair in Capenhurst
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 repair lasts. Whether it’s a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can help, whatever the material.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Advice

What else we do in Capenhurst
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Store bottles off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Capenhurst questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Cheshire West and Chester, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Are there extra charges for Capenhurst?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Capenhurst use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Common problems we fix in Capenhurst
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 normally come from dropped bottles.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Damage around the waste
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
Before you book anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that moves underfoot

Materials we work on in Capenhurst
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
