Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
How we handle shower tray repair in Chadkirk
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. We work on ceramic, cast iron and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about damage from a refit or building work and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Chadkirk questions
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.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Are there extra charges for Chadkirk?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What areas do you cover?
All of Stockport, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we’re called out for in Chadkirk

Clients typically contact us about:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips on the edges
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
Before booking anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
- How soon you can use it again
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
