About our shower tray repair in Chadderton
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are edge chips from dropped bottles and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Rinse away soap after showering
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
What affects the price in Chadderton
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
What we do, step by step

- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Chadderton: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
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.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
Do you come to Chadderton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Chadderton. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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 normally cheaper.
