- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

About our shower tray repair in Chorley
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. We work on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and edge chips from dropped bottles.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry

Advice
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
What else we do in Chorley
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Store bottles off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Repair or replace in Chorley?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Chorley questions
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

We cover the entire UK, including Chorley and the rest of Lancashire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
